Not my boat/no affiliatio; came across this listing today on yachtworld dot com:

If memory serves, I think owned at one time by a former member of this forum.  A ski patrol guy at Winter Park, CO resort, lived in Frazier I believe.  Looks like the boat has fallen on hard times since he had it. Good project boat though, good bones.

At least they cleaned out the interior before listing it. ?

Brack, I also recalled the name Pooka! Whenever I see the words "good project boat" I run the other way! I have a hard enough time keeping Koinonia looking nice.

Always amazes me how people treat and take care of these wonderful boats - sad really  - these boats are female after all  - take care of them and threat them well and you will get a lifetime of much joy

Yep, that is usually the case.  But you can't tell by pictures.  Only a few things matter.  Condition of the sails, condition of the inboard (original Westerbeke 12), condition of the standing rigging, and whether there is core rot or blisters in the glass.  Everything else is cleanup or low cost replacement. Any of those would cause me to pass.

The member here was Jim23.  He helped me with sources for snow shoes for my wife a few years back. The boat still has Colorado registration numbers on it.

I just called the brokerage to inquire about a different boat, but asked about the CP 27, Pooka, as they're also brokering her; looks like she has been sold — glad that the boat found a new home!
