The hull looked clean, the price was right, but it was the North sail, so colorful and fun, that caught my eye in the ad. I hadn’t seen this color combo before, either!
Both seller and I were on tight schedules, so I didn’t rig the boat when I got there. The guy kept telling me that everything was perfect (*a sure sign to check things over!)
The pretty sail was wrapped around the spars. He delivered the boat for a very fair price.
I know it’s ‘buyer beware’ and I should have known better, but when I sell something I always disclose any issues. This guy clearly hid a big problem. Check out the end of the spar! It is toast. He hid this under the wrapped sail.
I can cut the end off and fit this to a Minifish sail, and I have another set of spars, but my great deal didn’t turn out as great as I’d thought
Moral of the story: Take your time to check things over thoroughly and don’t just fall for a pretty face!
