Finding the rare Olson
Hi Steve,
I really wish I could be of more help...
...as we got to choose from two of these and a project boat Olson 34 when we were shopping in '94. This was in the SF Bay area. We bought the O-34 and had it trucked up to Portland.
It is a great boat now, but it took some time and money to get it that way -- you know how it goes.
You might find a 911S (aka a 911LE) in the Great Lakes area, and have to truck it home.
Unless you get really really lucky, my crystal ball shows a class eight truck cab and trailer in your future.
For a real long shot, try talking to the broker that sold us our Olson, Don Durant. He still runs Club Nautique in San Francisco and, while a busy guy, is a very nice person to talk to. They used to have a bunch of Olsons of both sizes in their large sailing club. Like I say, it's a long shot, but he might know of one coming back onto the market.

(There used to be a 911 in our fair city, but it was sold some years ago to a Seattle buyer.)
Happy Hunting,

Olson 34 #8
ps: there is an Olson 34 (tiller!) coming onto the market in Seattle, if you are interested... and he lurks on this site sometimes.
