When storms hit and the winds finally die down a new day different than the days before begin. Life is the same way. When I started my sailing, the first boat I bought was a beautiful NorSea 27, SeaGray. As the years went by my wife's abilities to sail began to evaporate. I realized the possibility of sailing off each winter to warmer climates was further and further out of the question. SeaGray was not getting the kind of use she deserved so I sold her. I still loved sailing and Cindy's agreement to sell SeaGray included buying something that would compliment the sailing grounds here on the coast of North Carolina. I contacted Bob and we began the process of building SeaFrog and for nearly 4 years I have really grown to love this boat. Last November my wife passed away. And so a new day begins. And so I've decided to make some changes in my life that include a liveaboard in the immediate future. So I'm making SeaFrog available. I'm starting here with you guys first. I've gotten so much from this group and have enjoyed the advice and the stories. SeaFrog is a 2008 M17 with a green sheer stripe. It has nearly everything I can think of to make her 'sail away' condition. There are some photos on http://sailseafrog.blogspot.com/ I have additional photos that I can put on a CD or sd card for anyone seriously interested. Here's a list of things on SeaFrog: - 4 opening port lights with screens - tinted lexan drop boards - Idasailor rudder (if you're not familiar with these, they are the cat's meow) - 2 anchors. G7 Guardian w/ 10' SS chain and 120' 1/2" nylon rode and a 15# Manson Supreme 8' chain and 150' 1/2" nylon rode - tan bark sails - CDI roller furling - mast halyard runs back to cockpit w/ Spinlock - Covers for mainsail, hand rails, and winches - reefing lines for 2 reef points - outhaul and topping lift - lazy jacks - Plastimo Mini Contest bulkhead mounted compa - D27 battery - Electrical: panel w/ battery gauge, battery switch, Hella Fan, interior red/white overhead light, running lights, masthead/deck light, 2 12v outlets, battery charger, - VHF radio installed in cabin with full function remote in cockpit - 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard motor w/ 3 gallon remote tank plus 2 1 gallon reserve tanks - 2 fenders - mid ship Shaefer adjustable cleats that run back and forth along the gib track - Pacific trailor with spare tire, all lights are LED, and tongue extension - back stay tensioner - Tiller Tamer - boom vang - fire extinquisher - dock lines - custom made cover (brand new, never used) that covers the entire boat whether on the trailer or moored with the mast up or down.
My asking price is $18K as I have over $25K in her. So if you are interested or know anyone that is looking or if some of you run into someone at Havasu that can't live without one, please drop me a line or give me a call at 25525-240-1085. Thanks, and Fair Winds. Joe
