Time to move on

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...

Here is an information file with description, specifications, equipment list, and more pictures.  I just reduced the asking price by $5000...

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
