Description:

FD with two sets of sails (jibs and main) and all parts, including original trailer with mast and boom crutches. The boat needs a mild restoration and I have to face the reality that I just can't get to this beauty. It has an open seam along the keel, a bit fore of the centerboard case, and a sprung plank at the stern. The keel repair is complicated if done to original specs; it will need to be turned and opened up. Then it may be a replacement of adhesive or it may need new pieces soldiered in. The stern is easy. My plan was simply to skin with glass in and out, and I have bought the glass for that. Bedded in epoxy it will be a permanent and fast solution. However, that would not be returning the boat to its original condition so the right buyer may want to go a different route. I will provide the glass and some of the epoxy for that repair. It is and has been kept in a garage, and i don't believe ever left out for any length of time. Deck has some heat splitting and will need filling, either paint or re-varnish. No paperwork, all out of system years ago. I would pay someone an hourly and let them use it if you want to fix without buying it. I can instruct and assist.
