Michael Coffman can probably tell you about this boat since I

think it is from his home site, Gulfport Florida.

Congratulations John Maples!

John is the Commadore of Gulfport Yacht Club. He will

keep the snake pit alive.

I know you are not running an ad, but we do not allow things for sale on the forum.

Since this is for keeping the class active, we'll let it slide.

The ad is also on our site under Classified Ads.

The boat is owned by Patty Pierce. I have sailed it with her and she does keep it in good shape.

Rick,

Your right, of course. I wasn't thinking. It's just that there are so few T4.9's in the country I was pointing it out to this specialized audience due to its rarity, not as an ad. Apparently it was sold locally as usually happens. Again, I am sorry for the faux pas.
