I bought the Pacific model from you in 2018, and you shipped it to Florida.\u00a0I&#8217;ve been thinking of advertising on eBay, but first I want to ask you, if you are aware of buyers interested in a used gear &#8211; of course at &#8218;used item price&#8216; and with a sales commission for you? If so, please let me know. Included is a picture of the windpilot newly\u00a0installed on the Bowman 40 in 2018.<br \/>\nRegards Vagn Olsen<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_4246.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_4246.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_4246-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_4246-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_4246-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><strong>Some clearifikation about the Bowman \/ Giles story<\/strong>:<br \/>\nMost Bowman 40 were built to a Chuck Paine design. But before introducing the Paine design, Bowman offered a Bowman 40 to a Laurent Giles design, which was actually a Giles 38 with a reverse counter added.

Trading and commisioning might end into VAT problems, and as a single hand family company some time is beyond of what I can arrange, as being 74 years old myself &#8230;I am hardly able and capable to organize the daily demand &#8230; ( but this is not at all a complaint! ).<br \/>\nPerhaps this might be the solution for you: Please contact FindV.P&#8230;<br \/>\nThe Pacific unit has been sold same day and will be fitted to a Dehler 43 soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F\u00dcR WEITE REISEN GEDACHT UND GEMACHT Dear Peter, Guess my days of long distance sailing are over, and I&#8217;m planning to sell my Windpilot Pacific.
