Welcome to the regional fleet Mark Shelton 

On February 29, the 1st boat of 2020 changed hands. Peter Gelinas of Randle, WA, sold Earth Girls, built in 1987, Hull #193, to Mark Shelton, who is a new sailor from Gig Harbor, WA. The white-hulled boat was listed at US$5500 and came with a dual axle trailer with all-new bearings and seals. Sails were old, and consisted of one main, 3 headsails and 3 spinnakers. Mast and boom are bare polished aluminum.
