2 Flickas on the Hard at the Same Marina

Carl, food for thought: if you decide to list your 19 for sale, I would love first dibs!

I'll keep you in mind.  Are you starting a Compac only marina, or Museum?

Thanks Chelle.  If I buy a Flicka, it will have the marine head and diesel.  I'm also looking at an Island Packet 27 or a Pacific Seacraft Orion with a tiller.  There are so many sailboats here it's wild.  A town of 900 with almost 3,000 sailboats registered.

You may also wish to consider the PSC 31, the Crealock design not to be confused with Mariah 31. As you may remember, from being aboard Interlude, the open layout is similar to the Flicka and Dana. With a Scheel keel Interlude only draws 6 inches more than a Flicka, which is uber good for the sailing down your neck of the woods with the extensive shoaling. She is easy to single hand and perfect for couples. Clearly am prejudiced but also have never seen as good engine and systems access on any other boat and they are still in production just around the corner from you! The downside is there are only two for sale in the entire world and neither is in the US. They don't last long once they hit the market!

I have to contend with a 45' bridge clearance to keep it at our dock or the association docks.

Hmmm...bridge clearance for Interlude is 44'. Bridge clearance for the ICW is 56 with most 65 plus.

I found another Flicka.  Too much work to be done on her for me, but for anyone not wanting to spend a lot of cash up front, it could work out great.

Hey Carl- skip the Flicka, skip the Dana, skip the IP27. Here is a tiller PSC Orion for a very fair price. Get it before Bob23 sniffs it out!!

And there is a fellow on the PSC Orion Group selling a trailer..............it's so much fun spending your money!!

Peter,  I saw that one.  It's tempting, but in all actuality I won't be in the market until we're in the new house.  Maybe this spring I can seriously start looking.

  Carl don't forget about the Com-Pac 27. It has a great layout down below and is a good sailor, not fast but easy to handle.

Thanks for the reminder Roger.  There are quite a few 27s here and it would fit my sailing too.  It will come down to which boat becomes available when I need it.  As for now the Seidelmann fits my needs, but as always with me, I'm never satisfied with what I have.
