Description
This boat can be sold alone or as a package with $25,000 USD of new kiteboarding gear by Core Kites. The asking price is $55,000 with the kites included (please request kite gear inventory). The asking price for the boat alone is $30,000.
Ballymena aka Flight Ship is a custom-designed composite catamaran with great potential. The most recent owners purchased the vessel from the man who built her with the hopes of using her as the base for their kiteboarding school. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the business did not work out however the boat was customized to be a great liveaboard and base for a kite school. This may also be a great project for someone with the knowledge and skill to add a mast to the vessel and get her sailing again.
