How much for Risky Business. Can It be measured before selling?
: All,
:
: It has been a long time since I
: posted on this board, taking a
: haitus from dingy sailing after the
: 2002 Worlds in Tampa.
:
: To all of my Fireball friends out
: there, a huge welcome to the newest
: member of our family, Willima Henry
: born on august 2, 2005.
: "Liam" is still a little
: small for Fireballing, but look out
: in 2012. My wife Myrrhia and I still
: live in Charleston, SC where I own
: and run a Quantum Sails loft.
:
: I have decided to sell my original
: wide bow, Risky Business. She is
: still in fine shape and minimum
: weight, and stiff as ever. While you
: may want to have Pat review the
: measurement cert I am sure she will
: pass just fine without my name
: attached.
:
: Risky was the first widebow ever
: built, by Steve Smith in 1982. She
: has a cored composite hull with
: Kevlar reinforcement and a gorgeous
: (but hidden under paint) wooden
: deck. She won damn near everything
: she entered from 1998 to 2002 and
: has been sailed only once since
: 2002. She comes with new saprs and
: sails used only at the 2002 Worlds,
: and lots of extra's. I have a
: collection of Proctor Masts, Proctor
: Booms, Proctor and super Spar
: spinnaker poles, foils, covers, and
: more. Liam turned out to be an
: expensive little bugger, so one
: might say the "Firesale"
: is on.
:
: For those home builders out there I
: have a bare hull I laminated in 2002
: after the worlds. She is a foam
: cored S glass hull with centerboard
: case intergral (a bone of contention
: on a previous ACME hull.) The bare
: hull weighs 32 pounds, so she would
: be ideal for a wood frame and deck.
:
: I'm not looking to make any waves or
: get any feathers ruffled, just
: wanting to pass on gear to those who
: might put it to good use.
:
: My "not a Fireball" USA
: 14795 will remain with me as my play
: toy. I have made some rigging
: adjustments to her to optimize her
: for singlehanding, a real blast if
: you have never tried it.
:
: If you are interested please either
: post your e-mail here or send me one
: directly. If you need new gear, a
: faster boat, or even the only custom
: Lindsay foils built since 1982 let
: me know.
:
: Who knows, maybe someday I will hit
: the water again, but it will be in a
: different boat for sure. If you have
: an old woody in good condition I may
: consider a trade as partial payment.
: Can deliver to Davis Island before
: the Midwinters. Can't sail, gotta
: big boat gig.
:
: Cheers,
: Henry McCray
: Fireball ghost...
