Greetings! I'm interested in purchasing an E25+ (see my wanted ad a few posts below) but I've never actually had an occasion to poke around inside of one. I'm basing my interest on research and discussions with others familiar with the boat. However, I'd really like to look at one up close and personal.
If you have an E25+ in the LA/Long Beach area and would be willing to let me take a look at it I'd really appreciate it. I'm not asking to be taken out sailing on it (though that would be fantastic) but just to be able to inspect one up close. Of course, if you did want to go out for a sail you wouldn't have to twist my arm!

Thanks much,

By the way: I just recently sold a 1987 Catalina 30 that I had at Holiday Harbor in San Pedro. It was a very nice boat in beautiful shape (I had a buyer in 2 days!) but was more boat than I felt I needed. So this is part of simplifying and "downsizing," as it were. I think the E25+ should make a great boat for trips to Catalina and the other channel islands. Since I single hand almost all of the time, I believe it would do everything I want. The Cal 2-25 is also on my short list, as that boat, like the E25+, provides standing headroom in a 25 footer without looking clunky. I have looked at the Cal 2-25 up close and like it in many respects, but the berths for sleeping are quite narrow and/or short. Anyway, determining this sort of thing is what seeing the boat in person allows me to do and would be very helpful. Thanks for considering this.
