Polaris (Hull 41) 1972 is now reluctantly up for sale. last two years has seen standing and running rigging all upgraded and replaced. Harken roller furling fitted with new Tan Sails last year. Garmin GPS fitted with charts and depthgauge. New compass. Too much to mention here but she is a well maintained classic boat cruised and raced gently(with a handicap of 295 who is in a rush at the start of any race). She is all set to go with a berth in Sidney BC that can be taken over at $2200 pa. Looking for $18000 obo. Call 250-415-2653 or email cole-h@telus.net

Too late. She's gone.

As fate would have it I've ended up taking Polaris back again. Long story involving ill health of buyer, my proposed new purchase falling through and wanting her to go to a good home. She's still available if anyone wants her and I'm fairly open to offers. Not in a rush as I've not got something else to buy. What was I buying originaly? A Contessa 32.

Hello!

Did she sell yet? If she's still available, I'd be interested in further information!

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Chas

So it seems time to put Polaris up for sale again. Perhaps I've forgotten about all the timewasters from the last time. In the last two years the engine mounts have been replaced and she has a new exhaust. My email has changed from the above to colethefarrier@hotmail.com. Boat is in sailaway condition and she has an assumable berth in Sidney BC.
