This was John Eastman’s boat. I remember seeing him sailing on Damariscotta Lake not many years ago and thinking what a beautiful boat. I’ve already got mine so here’s an opportunity for someone to own a nice boat just in time for the coming season.
There is also his Gambit up for auction, as well as many other of John’s prized toys. Bids are low at this time it’s worth considering.

HURRY THREE DAYS LEFT ON THE AUCTION AS OF TODAY!
