What Were They Thinking?
Four iceboats? Among three sailors?
Nite 300 recently came on the market at a very attractive price. The boat has a successful racing record, appears to be in perfect condition, is very well equipped, and looks nice. Bri and I spent an hour trying to find something wrong with it, but were unsuccessful.
So that makes four boats in the Nies/Janowiec consortium. However, good old Number 10, Wombat, is now up for sale. While none of us is claiming that Wombat was the brightest purchase, we did our part in bringing her back from the brink of extinction. And, while not the fastest steed in the stable, she is a fine craft, and will make someone very happy.
Also, it will be fun to see Nite 300 and Nite 351 side by side on the ice, and to speculate on which will win more races.
