50" long Marblehead fibreglass sailboat RTR- the Ken Coleman collection//SOLD

[Frank v B]

Selling this on behalf of Ken Coleman's widow.

50" long Marblehead sailboat with a fin keel, sail winch, rudder servo and receiver installed.  Ready to bind to your transmitter and go sailing.

The mast is tapered fibreglass, the main and jib boom are carbon.
The brass fittings appear to be Fisher.
My guess is that it is about 15-20 years old.
The only little damaged area is the bow and appears to be cosmetic.

The starting price (mine) is $50.00.  Increments of at least $5.00.  The last bid on Friday evening October 21 with a date stamp before 8 pm (7:59:59 or earlier) is the winner.  Pick-up in Markham (#7 and Warden).  All proceeds to Ellie Coleman.

How am I going to explain another model in my home:  Help me!

- It followed me home.
- I'm looking after it for Cadez.
- I am registered as a foster modeller.
- It was an orphan looking for a warm place to stay.
- Winter is coming.  The water will get hard soon.
- I bought the 25" model sailboat from Ken's estate.  This was its mother.  Mother and child reunion.
- It was cute.
