Hey All,
After nearly 10 years, with very mixed feelings, I am putting Makika up for sale. An opportunity came up to buy an F-32 and it feels like time… (again ?)
Makika is one of the fast 25c’s and has won most of the races in the NW, including R2AK, Swiftsure, Round the County, Northern Century etc. She’s a dream to sail upwind in a breeze, so stiff and accelerates off the wind like a skiff, a line honors contender with the big boats when it’s windy. Easy to single hand, easy to race double handed, 3 is the right number for general racing.
Ready to race, stripped out boat with some major modifications such as opening up the cockpit (can’t tell you how much we have loved that) and replacing/removing the cabin main hatch to give a pretty sleek feel. She’s had all the usual old competitive modifications such as lowering the floats, moving the forestay forward, transom hung rudder etc
Sails (lots - mostly Smyth):
3 Mains. 2 old/pracice. 1 that has a couple of years of racing life left.
4 Jibs. 2 in great racing condition.
3 Screachers, 1 still in good racing condition, flat upwind cut
2 Masthead spinnakers, one brand new, one 3 years old.
1 Fractional spinnaker - brand new, used for 30 mins
1 Masthead drifter (love this sail) with plenty of life left.

Weighed a couple of months ago: 1,700lbs Empty weight, 1,880lbs sailing weight.
I’m probably missing a bunch of stuff but everything you need to go fast.
Price - who knows? The 25Cs seem to be listed anywhere from $30k to $90k depending on fit out and pedigree. Makika is an awesome, down to weight, fast boat that has won a lot of races, could not 100% on the conspetics. I’m thinking $65k but that will depend on timing and interest.
