[Sonar] Sonar 370 for Sale

[Hans Dickel]

Sonar USA 370 is for sale.  The boat is fast as exemplified by our race results between the two skippers and longer-term track record in our very competitive and yet fun fleet.  In addition to the great boat, we are including sails and equipment that are in great racing condition.  We are happy to review in detail how we tune and race the boat.  If possible, we are even willing to help prior to a race.  Duane has done a lot of good engineering on the boat to make it function really well rigging-wise.  The boat has been maintained to racing standards.

Here is a quick rundown of the boat:

*        Originally built in 1986 by Ontario Yachts, with a Sonar Class Association Measurement Certificate issued on 1/24/2004.  It had some re-measurements (and passed) in 2011 for Sonar North Americans.
*        Sails used carefully based on wind conditions.  Our newest sails are only used in light wind key races.
*        The boat Includes:
o   Tack Tick Micro Compass Mount on Mast
o   Fatso Tiller Extension
o   Boom Sail Cover
o   2013 North Jib
o   2015 North Jib
o   2015 North Main
o   White North Spinnaker
o   White Quantum Spinnaker (the Spinnakers are good medium to high wind chutes)
o   Trailer
o   Spinnaker Sheets (with stainless steel sister clips)
o   Jib Sheets
o   Main Sheet
o   Spinnaker Pole
o   Aft Motor Mount
o   Backstay flicker
o   ...and so forth
*        It has a mast puller and jib fine tune.
*        It has a lifting bridle above the keel, permanently stowed under the deck (making it convenient for putting the boat in and taking out).
*        The boat is rigged in a manner that doesn't require a gorilla (not that there is anything wrong with being a gorilla!) to pull lines (our team is made up of two beautiful women who fortunately like sailors and two geeky guys who are saved by the fact that they sail).
*        Jib Halyard was replaced on 10/1/2016
*        Downhaul was replaced Spring 2016
*        Keel box was repaired prior to Spring 2016 season and continues to be very solid/stiff
*        Bottom paint was professionally applied prior to Spring 2016 season
*        2014 Season: the Spinnaker Halyard was replaced, Backstay flicker was replaced, Boom was replaced with a brand new boom (and has really nice purchase for the outhaul), tiller re-sleeved and tightened
*        The mast was replaced for the 2011 season with a brand new mast
*        There are two indentations on the port side aluminum rub rail, fondly demonstrating the two boats that hit us while we were on starboard and they were on port.  The rail did the job of protecting and the boat wasn't damaged at all.
*        The boat was well maintained by the two previous owners that we know about.
*        Honda 4-stroke Motor (works great!)
*        Tack Tick Micro Compass and mast mount

Ready to race fast for a team: $15,000, 10% discount for WYC fleet member(s) to help keep the boat at our club.

If you have ever wanted to join the Sonar fleet, this is a great opportunity.

Cheers!
Hans
