BackBeat is back in storage in Spokane after spending a few weeks on the water being seen by tire kickers. Grrrrrr. Oh well. If you want to see her in the water, let me know and I'll do it all again, but please be serious. She's a bit of work to launch, rig, and repeat backwards if you're not.

For Seattle area viewers, here's the deal: I keep our bigger boat in Elliott Bay, so we're in Seattle frequently. If you're interested in BackBeat, come check her out in Spokane. If you're seriously interested we'll step the mast so you can sea trial it on Lake Coeur d'Alene. If you buy it, I'll bring it to the coast for you, rig it, and tune it for you--no charge.

NB! ***This boat has gear on it that will almost never get used on a lake, or on protected saltwater if you're a day-sailor or weekend camp cruiser. I can get $1500 off the price by taking a lot of that gear off and using it on my big boat. If this offer appeals, contact me and I'll tell you what I'll take off the boat and what I'll leave.

Here's a link to much more info about the boat:

This isn't the cheapest Capri 25 you'll find, but it's probably the best. I bought it to modify for the 2014 solo transpac. It's a fast, sturdy boat, but I also have a Tartan 33, two dinghies, and a few others. That's more than 100 feet of boats, and I need to cull the fleet, lol.

This is a very fast, family-friendly boat. Here's a recent review:

Thanks for looking.

P.S. I do not need professional help selling it, and I will only sell it to someone I can meet in person. If you're somewhere else, and want to send me money via Paypal, you have to fly your butt to Spokane to look at the boat first.
