SOLD - 9th boat of 2025 to change hands and the 87th in ~9 years - Vancouver, BC (listed for CDN$10,000): Blue Fish, hull #14, from Dave Cramb to Matthew Henry and Lily Hope of Victoria, BC on November 29. Dave wanted the boat to be bought by active racers in the Class, which has been accomplished.

With a blue hull, Blue Fish came with a lighter-weight road and yard trailer, and a mostly-completed Measurement Certificate. The boat weighed in at about 100 pounds light and the keel and rudder were both grandfathered.

Matt and Lily are both experienced racers and are coaches with the Pacific Sea Cadet Sail Team. They are members at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club where the boat will be kept going forward, joining 10 other 242's, a new high at Royal Vic. 

Welcome to the Regional Fleet, Matt & Lily!
