For "sail" is a 1980 Mirage 5.5 sailboat, 20 ft long and yellow.
This boat is rigged for racing and would make a great PHRF racer - quite fast for its size.
Alternatively, it is an excellent boat for beginners, as well as those who prefer to cruise the bay/lake and go on overnight trips.
The boat technically sleeps four, but is best suited for two adults and two children or a couple.
Weighing in at approximately 1200 lbs, this boat is easily towed by most 4-cylinder trucks and SUVs.
The solid iron swing keel provides excellent stability on the water, but makes trailering very easy.
Clear title on the boat. Trailer and outboard are not registered, but I'll give a bill of sale.
Specifications:
LOA 20'
LWL 17'2"
Beam 8'
This Mirage is in good overall condition and comes with tons of extras, including:

The boat is stored at the Houston Yacht Club and I'll take $100 off the price if you keep it there. If you plan to trailer it away, bring tie down straps. The trailer takes a 2" hitch ball.
The Mirage sold today to a nice guy from the Dallas area. Your site is fantastic as always. Thanks again!
