J/24 Navy Blazer loaded, extras with winning pedigree for sale $7500

[USA74]

I know this boat and boat owner well, as they were both fixtures at Lake Texoma where we used to keep our boats (back when there was an active racing scene at Texoma). This is the best looking J/24 I've ever seen, and I can personally attest to the fact that it was well-sailed. At this price, the boat should be a STEAL for someone. Gary was saving this boat to sail with his grandkids, but one graduated and the other became a select level soccer player (so not much free time for other pursuits). Would love to see it land on Galveston Bay, as I'm a bit sentimental about this one. Gary Witt is a great guy, and this boat deserves a good home. Gary has a nice flyer with pics he can send you if you're interested.
