    I wonder how many aluminium Gazelles there are in the San Francisco Bay Area. There was one that sold for a song in 2019 ($10k? $5k?), urgent sale for health reasons. Also didn't have a working engine...

    I believe there were seven aluminum Gazelles built by Greenwich in British Columbia in the mid-70's.  I have one and one was listed for sale in Florida a couple years ago.  So now there are two in the San Francisco area.  I have always wondered where all of them were.  Based on my boat, I think the aluminum work is excellent.

    I hope I'm not being cynical by wondering if it's the same one...

    The one that was for sale for a song due to health reasons was Tangram, and the seller's name was Duane Funke. That boat has recently been bought by Martin Foster, a member of the Colvin Gazelle Facebook group. I started this other thread about Tangram when Duane had her for sale. I don't know whether Martin bought Tangram directly from Duane, but he says he believes they are the same boat, and also that he talked to Duane before he bought her. She's coming back to Oregon for a rebuild/refit, and he plans to sail out the mouth of the Columbia and turn left in 5 years.

    She is home and a float, without epoxy keeping the water out.

    I removed all the forward interior and did weld repairs to the hull but will need the replace a hull plate before I am done. Now to start sailing her and working out all the little things that make a man want to kill people.
