COMMENTS: PIP is an outstanding example of Joel White's genius, she is a joy to sail, easy to handle and can be launched or hauled in a pinch. This boat has only been sailed ten times in her first year and then stored indoors since only to be moved for receiving additional coats of varnish or tending to maintenance as needed. PIP's owner is a very experienced and taleneted yachtsman who has taken exceptional care of this lovely jem. Nothing was spared in the building as well as the upkeep of the boat she could be called a floating piano! for such a high level of finish that is just as good as new if not, I dare say, better than... for like a fine wine; with age comes maturity and beauty. Must be seen to be truly appreciated and offered at well below replacement cost.
