Towards the end of June, I decided to put up my old Superlight II for sale, as well as my 7.5 racing rig. So I was browsing on Kijiji to see what was there for sale already. Then I decided to search for sailboats. To my great surprise, I find some keelboats that are really affordable. On a whim, I show Dave a picture of a Mirage 24 for sale at a club across the lake from ours. He's interested and starts asking questions. In the meantime, I post my equipment for sale and sell all except the sail in only 2 weeks. I also go to 2 sailboard regattas so no time to explore the Mirage 24. In the end, we looked at the boat on July 8th and 12th and bought her on July 17th! We had it moved to Britannia Yacht Club, just a few kilometers down the road on Friday, July 20th and worked at cleaning and waxing the hull and cleaning the cabin during the weekend. Now we have to have the rudder fixed and she should be ready to hit the water for August.
And this means that we have a Mutineer 15 for sale as we can't keep all these boats!

There are many boat accessory items you can choose that will help to make your boating experience easier and more enjoyable. They can also increase the value of your boat.
