For the price of a nice 1989 C-25, you could own this!

It only is available now, because we decided not to tow it back from Bermuda in July ourselves...

Got there beginning of July while on a sailing trip on a friend's (Ken) 47ft catamaran from St. Thomas to Rhode Island.
We anchored in St. Georges near the customs office for two days before we decided to check out that half sunken half afloat 'thing' a few boat lengths from us;
the cat with the yellow sail cover is our boat. That grey/silver ‘thing’ to the left or behind us turned out to be Rainmaker at a mooring.



a close up still does not reveal much:



The stern was facing away from our boat so we could not see the 'Rainmaker' name across the transom until we came around one day in the dink.

Ken could not help to climb aboard, check out the remnants and fasten a towing line; in fishermen's jargon: this was the big one that got away




We had seen the ad before and we agreed that they would have to pay us a lot more than $15,000 to touch it...
But then, who knows, after all it stayed afloat for a year in the Atlantic.

The problem with synthetic boats . . . they don't rot and return to the soil.
