Louie is going to sail it for a while, maybe down the coast to Mexico, then put it up for sale.

Louie's Sailboat in the Water
After many years, Louie's sailboat, the Roy Fox, is in the water in the harbor just south of Fort Bragg. Junk-rigged sail. Louie just finished building the cabin and outfitting it for travel on the high seas. Framing is white oak; planking is lapstrake old-growth clear Douglas Fir attached with copper rivets. Deck is teak over marine plywood. It's immaculate. Louie plans to sell it eventually. As we motored out of the harbor, another sailor on the dock called out, "Beautiful!"

Saw Louie's boat on Craigslist. Planned on seeing it before this. Stopped by the marina in Fort Bragg today.
Louie knows Pete and I , and Pete, up until he left this world , was a trimaran owner. I just sold the Corsair and am looking for a single hull sailboat I can call my own. Knowing what little I do about the boat, I am very interested in pursuing more info.
Hope to talk to Lloyd. Hope you are well, Louie.
