Bill Kerwin sold this boat about a year ago . . . but no data on new owner or the hull number.

Title: For Sale
Post by: Sean O'Sullivan on September 13, 2005, 12:18:15 PM
I bought this boat 2-1/2 yrs ago off of Bill Kerwin. Good boat, needs some work, just like the rest of these boats. I was single when i bought it, now married, 6mo old baby, and a house to fix on the weekends in lieu of sailing. I hate to see her go, but if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Good luck, Sean

I think most boats on ebay sell privately after the auction closes. Ebay gives you tremendous exposure, but the bidding time is too short.

Regards,

Your current high bidder

Looks like a nice Commander, only $110!?!?! Yikes!
Bid that sucker Pete, don't let some wannabe run away with it!!!!
Just curious can the slip be transferred? If so how much?
Title: (2) Boats

I was really hoping you'd win this auction Pete. It would be cool seeing (2) commanders @ your slip. You would need (2) boats to store your belonging, since momma would kick you out of the house.

(slip is not transferable)

I can hardly take care of my little fleet now.

Iceman, I'd be willing to take those sails off your hands, if you're done with them.

I had the privilege to purchase Commander Hull#233 from Sean. I've been looking for the right sailboat all summer.  We looked at Capri 30's, a CF 27, Santana 30's etc but the Commander meets all my families' needs for a nice safe daysailer with perhaps a trip to the islands a few times a year. This group was a great resource in making my buying decision and I expect will continue to be. I'll continue to race on other peoples boats to satisfy my need to go really fast and break things but will also do some local races with my boys on our boat. Let's see if we beat our PHRF rating and get some respect for a vintage design. My sons are 6 & 9 and hopefully will get infected with the "disease" of boating just like the rest of us.

Sean,
Please feel free to come sailing with us at anytime. It would be our pleasure.

Tim
