This is not a typical Tiller and Kites boat BUT... it is such a neat Balboa 20 with great local ownership. She needs to find a new home and needs nothing. Trailer and Tohatsu outboard included. A superb Lake Pleasant trailer boat. Not even going to put a price on her - a decent offer and she is yours.

Well done to the flaming pile of s**t who drove into the back of my boat and destroyed my outboard motor. How low is your IQ that you drive into the back of a pink sailboat on the end of an end-tie?

I need a day off!

Tiller and Kites as well as myself are supporting Guardian Sailing - their program but most importantly on their Race to Alaska adventure this summer. They are sailing on our VA "Art Boat" J/24 'Rebel Yell'.
I would like to think that a good portion of my friends would join us and lend a hand with even a small donation. Every bit counts!
Dig in :D

Our J/24 Rebel Yell - the VA Art Boat is now heading off to the PNW for this year's edition of the Race to Alaska R2AK Tracker Ju**ie 2024 - she will be sailed by Guardian Sailing and my friend Michael Tieman - PLEASE support this effort. We are in with the boat, trailer, sails and boxes of stuff but we do need your help.
PLEASE HELP HERE: https://www.guardiansailing.org/
Thank you!
