I have to in order to fund the Ninja homebuild. Unfortunately it’s the only way I can do it. It’s gutting because I really had hoped to keep hold of her whilst the build took place especially as she is so well setup now with all the latest gear (foils and rig) but finances won’t permit it.

It looks like I have interest already so hopefully she will go quickly and the end will be short and sweet and not drawn out. We’ve been through a lot together from the first sessions where she was uncontrollable and the set up was all wrong to us being able to foil gybe and nearly foil tack! I hope she finds a really good home and loving owner… (sob..)

She will be going up on the for sale site as well as the usual places.

Here are some memorable moments I had with her…
