[C38] SuperStar is for sale!

[David Epstein]

Fellow C38 Enthusiasts,

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that my family has put 
SuperStar up for sale.  Despite my having sailed her since the day my 
late partner, Sid Blinder, purchased her new, it is no longer 
financially practical for us to be boat owners.  We have had many, 
many great years with her, and have been honored to win countless 
races over the years (including the C38 Nationals six or seven times).

If anyone knows of someone who might be interested, the boat is 
listed with Steve Curran of Sailboats Unlimited in Marina del Rey, 
CA.   I have known and competed against Steve for 25+ years, and his 
wife was our foredeck crew for many of our early years, so he knows 
the boat well.  In order to insure a very quick sale, we have listed 
the boat for $27,900 without the racing sails and equipment (as most 
buyers these days are not racers).  If someone wants to continue her 
racing legacy, we will offer a "racing package" so it can be 
purchased fully race-ready.  Steve can be reached at 310.822.9814, 
and the listing can be seen at:

Also, we may have a bunch of sailing equipment and C38 parts for 
sale, depending on what gets sold with the boat.  When the time is 
right, I will post a list of what will be available.

It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of the C38 community 
for the past 30 years, and to sail with and against many of you over 
the years.  Who knows, perhaps I will find a way to stay in the 
family, either by continuing to sail on SuperStar, or perhaps by 
joining forces with another local C38 owner who might benefit from my 
and my crew's participation and/or is in need of a great racing sail 
and equipment inventory...

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or 
suggestions.

As my good friend and mentor Stanley Dashew once inscribed in a book 
for me: "The Lord doesn't count the days spent at sea".

Regards,


David Epstein
SuperStar, #122, Marina del Rey
