Seen it? Should be permanent. That boat is ALWAYS on there!
Never makes reserves...which is about $1,000,000 I believe.
It is gorgeous!!
This was the deal today..

That's really funny! That boat (Rowdy) is on the end tie two slips away from my boat in Oxnard. She is beautiful in person - probably the best-looking sailboat I've ever seen. It's pretty good inspiration when I'm working on the Triton to look over my shoulder at that Herreshoff. But then, she's a wood boat...and the owner just spent the last couple of weekends sanding the entire deck getting it ready for more varnish. Looked like hard, hard work to me.

I can't believe the owner of "Rowdy" hasn't explored other avenues of selling his unique and beautifully-restored boat. That boat has been perpetually on Ebay for as long as I can remember.

"Honey? Did you sell that boat like you promised?"
"Gee, dear, it's been on the auction site for months but I'm just not getting any decent offers..."
Haw!
