Nice boat, I scored on a 1969 cape cod mercer 44. Purchased Skylark a couple years ago from original family. She is presently slipped in Groton, Ct

[@boatfools]

The Mercer 44 is a slick boat! Yawl or sloop? Pretty lines. Congrats. Sail her on up to Maine! Thanks for tuning in.

Hey Boys, If that boat could talk! Lots of good times aboard her. At one point I think in the early 90's over 2 seasons she won 8 races with 8 bullets! (First across and saving her time on her class). She is a solid boat and handles well in a sea. Cruising is pretty comfortable aboard her too, the roller furling jib make things pretty easy, and having a full oven on board goes a long way for some tasty meals. Rick was known for his roast cooking in there while racing the Camden-Castine. Makes for a happy crew. Couple of corrections: Rick crewed on the 1972 Olympic trials in the Soling (3 person boat). They won the west coast Regatta and were one of the top boats going into the trails, but only the First place boat gets to go to the Olympics! He did campaign in the Olympic Finn (single man) for many years, placed 9th in the North Americans and went to the World Championships in Bermuda. Great job fellas, sending the love

Thanks, Skip! And thanks for the clarifications on Rick's racing past. So great! A fantastic boat - just need to find her a good home.

Would it be possible to receive more info on the metal frames under the cabin sole near the companion way? Size , material, is it square tube stock or angle bracket ...reason is I want to do the same in my 1970C&C36R..much obliged.

[@boatfools]

I will ask the owner, but I believe they are original to the boat. Stand by!

[@JohnBobRoger]

@@boatfools Thanks kindly.

I see this video is a year old. Has it been sold and is being sold again? I don’t mind putting some effort and some elbow grease to make her shine again. But I was curious have they found wet core and she’s been passed up? I am definitely a novice sailor and I’d not be able to do core work. If there’s a way to send a private message go ahead. I’ve had a passion to get out on the water my whole life. But I’ve been an entrepreneur and working too much. I need a change. My boat cash for an already beautiful boat all done up was completely eaten up by covid and I feel like I’ve been set back a great deal. I am looking for something that needs some love but not cost me tons so money.

Hi Jason! Are you in Maine? She is still for sale. Here is the link to the listing and broker. breweryacht.com/listings/1980-cc-40/2805560/ She's a cool boat with a lot of sailing left in her. Let us know what happens!

Did she sell?

[@boatfools]

She has not. There was an offer, apparently, but the deal fell apart. She's on the hard at Lyman-Morse in Camden.
