I'm selling my Pirateer, boat, trailer and sails are all in good shape, let me know if you're interested at all.

13" daysailor Pirateer for sale. Boat in great shape, some minor suface wear on top of transom (from mast storage?), trailer in excellent shape. Complete package, sails, rudder, tiller all in great shape. I'm looking to get a bigger boat. Asking $800. Located in Northern Michigan. I'm having tr...

Excellent, thanks again for the info. If I can get some time to finish figuring the rigging out tonight, I'll get her in the lake tomorrow, hopefully get a pic or two.

So to be clear, those two little holes should be plugged? I heard others say just plug all those self-bailing drains and bring along a big sponge. What of the large black circular rubber thing on the back wall of the cockpit? I looked over the manual for this boat from your site, but it's really har...

Just purchased a pretty little boat, a Pirateer 13 ft daysailer. Trying to figure out riggin, etc in the back yard, already seeing I need to "make" time for boating. Elsewhere siomebody brought up using a water ballast for this boat, but to me that seem doubtful. Anyone heard of this? I'm ...

I just bought a Pirateer, like yesterday. IN trying to figure out the rigging, I came across this forum, awesome is the web right? This is the first I've heard of water ballast for the Pirateer, how would you go about doing it?
