NEW *** Pro Boat Westward 18 Sailboat

[Darin Jordan]

Hi Guys,

New offering from Pro Boat was just announced. It's called the Westward 18, and it's an 18", I guess "Ultra-Micro" sized sailboat. This one should be pretty cool. A "little" easier to transport with it's smaller size.

You know I actually been thinking about trying my hand at sailing. Might be worth a look down the road!
