Posted by Henry Interesting you did not sign your post. I would be very, very careful insinuating impropriety. ACME settled its debt's years ago. Your remarks are dangerously close to liable and your identity is not nearly as "secret" as you may think. I suggest you use the contact information provided above should you wish to further your thoughts. Henry McCray --Previous Message--

:
: USA 13281, Risky Business. Yes, she
: can be measured. If she is to sail
: at the MW's that may be a good
: oportunity to get in touch with Pat
: and see if he can work on it before
: or after. The price all depends on
: what you want with her. I would say
: somewhere around $3500 for a
: complete boat with sails ready to
: go, but it could go up or down
: depending how we mix and match the
: gear, sails, spars, etc...

:
: As for the "how much"...
: I am imagining Risky with a good
: package and some spares, will be
: around $3500.
:
: I will go $1000 for the shell.
:
: The new masts are $950, and will
: discount further if it ends up in a
: package.
:
: The used masts will either go with
: Risky, or can go to good homes once
: we have the boats sorted out.
:
: The rigged booms are $250 each.
: First come, fisrt serve on the
: fashion colors. The new ones are the
: same price, but not rigged.
:
: The rigged poles are $100, same for
: the new ones (unrigged)
:
: The sails will be 25%-50% off, but
: again I will do my best to package
: them up with Risky and the bare
: hull.
:
: The new Lindsay foils cost me $1300
: for the set, delivered to the
: Worlds. I will do $1000 for the set
: or keep them.
:
: The old foils will go with Risky or
: the shell.
:
: I believe I have set the prices
: quite fairly, as I am as interested
: in passing on the gear to good homes
: as I am about paying for the
: munchkin. If you have something in
: mind, try me.
:
: I will also offer the hull and deck
: mold for the ACME boats if anyone
: wants to have a go with it. They
: need resurfacing and reframing, but
: it is a far cry from trying to start
: from scratch. My efforts produced
: more of a learning curve than a
: successful product. The molds are
: not "official", and bear
: zero promises.
:
: SO, let the gear transfer of the
: century begin...
