Michael,

Unfortunately you are about an hour too late. Someone has already claimed it.

Jeff,

If the sail cover is still available I’d be interested.   Are you looking to sell it or pass it on?  When I purchased our boat it came with a sail cover cut out for the Dutchman lines and it doesn’t fit well.

Thanks much,
