Marine Electronics


Lately we've ben getting in lots of marine electronics in pretty damn good shape. Of course whenever people bring them in they tell us that they worked perfectly when they came off of the boat... but whether they're spinning yarns or not we blow this stuff out cheap. VHF's, GPS, EPIRB's, Fishfinders, Radars, etc... The items change daily but give us a call or better yet come on in.

These great little folding cockpit tables sell for $350 at the "other" boat store, but you can come in and pick one up at Minney's for only $89. Available in round, hexagonal, or square shapes.

Remember we're still trying to send a message to the credit card companies... paying cash saves you 5% every day at the store.

McNish Classic Yacht Race


I was lucky enough to get back on Rose of Sharon this weekend for the McNish Classic up in Oxnard. Pretty light winds at the start but it picked up as the afternoon wore on and we were leading the pack until Dennis Connors caught up on his boat Brushfire with the help of his massive 180% 3DL genoa (not purchased from Minneys). It was a great race and we took first place schooner... not bad for having 22 people onboard.

SS Lane Victory




If anyone is looking for a great weekend diversion this summer might I reccommend the SS Lane Victory out of San Pedro. This past weekend some of the boys from the shop took a ride on one of the last if not the only fully operational Victory ships that helped win the second world war. Complete with an aerial attack, tours of the engine room, and a live band this is a really cool way to spend a Saturday.

The ship sails only 5 times a year and will be going out twice in August and twice more in September. Check out their website for more information. SS Lane Victory

Watt a Steal



SOLD

The puns just keep on getting better.

Right now we've got a 18' classic Duffy/Shock electric boat for sale. The boat could use a little TLC, probably some new batteries, maybe a new charger but at under 5 grand with a trailer it's a total steal.

Even More Sails

Ever wonder how long it takes to inventory over 2000 sails by pulling each one out of the bin, checking it against a master list, updating changes and putting it back? The answer is quite a while... especially when you're when you're dealing with full batten mains off of a Swan 53. Anyway we've been hard at work updating our main and headsail lists and adding over 100 new sails, so head over to the website sometime this week to see if your sail is there. Updates should post around Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm off this week and will be driving up the coast for the next 8 days.
