Mercedes is equipped, prepared, and set up to my standards for asymmetrical spinnaker racing and cruising, and her keel/hull joint is sound and secure (unlike when she left the Tartan factory). So, it is kind of crazy that I think about undertaking a new challenge with another boat! Nevertheless, I feel like I want to experience one more boat before finally being done with sailing.
I am looking for a sailboat that has a few more creature comforts like wheel steering, roller furling, self-tailing winches, maybe refrigeration and propane, is practical to sail shorthanded, and is competitive for racing.
I have decided to advertise Mercedes for sale and hope to find a good home for her with someone who will take care of her like I have. Here is a personal listing in SailboatListings.com...

If you can, please pass the word should you have any prospective leads for Mercedes. There is no broker nor broker's fees involved yet, saving me money that I can pass on to a potential buyer.
Thanks! - Chris
