Still Looking--Flying Scott in Boise--Saturday, August 24, 2013 -- Check Craigslist everyday for Seattle, Portland, Tri-Cities and Spokane.  There are a couple of possibles.  There is a Tanzer up in Port Angeles--the price seems right, $1600--only two sails.  The trailer needs work, but is road worthy.

There is a Flying Scot in Boise.  The price is really right--$5500 for what he is selling.  This boat has two mains, two jibs, two spinnakers, pole, compass--trailer isn't bad--galvanized.  The owner is still racing it.  This an interesting class boat.  Last year FS #1 won a regatta.  This particular boat is a '78.

Fifty-five hundred is more than I want to have tied up in a boat that I'm only going to sail 10 or 12 times a year.  It's a long drive to Boise (10 hours each way).  New Scots go for $19,000--I didn't stutter, that's three zeros.

Thinking about it.  It's a good buy.  More than I want to spend, but it would be fun to go head to head with Semper Fi.
