Haven't seen this one, the dimensions don't seem right. The ad says 18 feet long and 11 feet wide, but looking at the picture the dude must be pretty tiny.

I found a couple of references that this was supposed to be designed to sail on a plane, with flat hull bottoms.

If he is about 5'2 or 5'3 it would make the beam about 11' and the mast about 30'. Big huls lots of volume and they have a couple of rectangle port windows on them. Would be intersting to learn more about the boat and builder.

I can buy 18', the sail shows PLC 18.
Retrieval will be a road trip. Powell river is well up the coast from Vancouver, you have to take a ferry. Actually, two- one from the West edge of Van to Gibsons,(where that old TV show The Beach Combers was filmed, Molly's reach is still there), & another further up the chuck.
Some great salmon fishing up that way, catch a few dogfish for bait, & drop a pot overnight for a feast of dungeness crab.
A big plus is the price is Cdn $, that works out to about $1700 USD.

The battens on that mainsail are a bit disconjugate, possibly homemade.

That boat looks amazing. I'd want a ladder to get back on-board if there was ever a get-off.
