Cal 29 in San Francisco

I wandered across this following a story from Scuttlebutt: a Cal 29 for $9,500 at Port Richmond, California: http://www.richmondyc.org/foundation/forsale.asp Alfred Poor 1969 Cal 29 #132, "Pentaquod"

As a reference, last week, I bought a 1975 Cal 2-29 with the Faryman A30 (12HP). Beautifully taken care of interior. 5 sails, Helmsman Station, Awlgrip Hull, VHF, gimballed stove, recently replaced ports, reupholstered berths (V and 2 quarter berths), heater, and enclosed head for $10,000. Although I think I got a slightly good deal, I don't think it was a steal. The $9500 boat might be a steal based on what I've seen recently assuming it is in any where near the condition mine happens to be. As far as I can tell from looking it over and having a survey is that the deck needs painting.

Ed-- It sounds like you scored a nice boat. Diesel, wheel steering, and a nice interior are at the top of my list. How long were you looking? --Chris --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "ehall1971" <edward1.hall@...> wrote: > > As a reference, last week, I bought a 1975 Cal 2-29 with the Faryman > A30 (12HP).

Thanks for the tip. I live 20 minutes away from here, so I'll check it out.

I was looking for close to a year for "something with sails". I started narrowing down my list at the beginning of the year. I looked at a few boats but nothing felt right. As soon as I saw the add for this boat I had a sense it was the one. Remember, too, now is a good time to buy, at least from what I've seen. Slip fees are coming due. People are wanting to get into another boat before it gets warm (at least in my part of the country) and license fees are coming up. You have good leverage to buy right now. The guy was asking $16,400 for this boat. I offered $10k and didn't flinch. He rejected my offer after I rejected the counteroffer. He came back the next day. --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "pata_grande" <pata_grande@...> wrote: > > Ed-- > > It sounds like you scored a nice boat.
