In the event you might be interested in purchasing a used European Mini40 - I have heard there are four (4) listed for sale in the RC Marine magazine.
Also, as part of the information passed forward, there is a definite shift in Europe toward the 2 Meter sized boats, with many Mini40 sailors moving up to race the bigger craft. At the last big meeting (race) it was reported that only seven (7) Mini40's appeared, but eighteen (18) of the 2 Meter boats competed.
I have asked for photos and hope to have and post in the near future. Perhaps we need to rethink our directions, and give the 2 Meter a consideration. On the other hand, that size is VERY difficult to travel any great distances to compete.
Sorry, but I have not received word on the selling price of the used Mini40's - but if I do I will post. Still expensive to import, especially if one piece masts.
Stay tuned.
