Just took off some of the white paint... Black underneath the latex!!!
This is going to be a fun project. I am looking forward to piecing together the history of this boat. The 20 knot camping trip will need to be told! Looking at some of the repairs, I have a picture forming of the event(s)...
Thank you all for the help. I feel much better about my decision to take on this project! -

Definitely keep us informed. I almost bought that boat last year but it was too much of a project boat for me.

Here ya go man! I can't believe I found this last night. This is your boat about a week after it arrived in Florida. That's me and some blondie off the beach. Pic taken from Honeymoon Island.

It's special now that I have it!
Hey Optikid - are you going to be at the SSS this weekend? I'm bringing the boat over and plan on rigging the boat on Saturday, but I promised my wife I wouldn't take it out on the water until Sunday (she is working on Saturday...)
If you are around, I could use a hand getting her rigged up! -

Do you know about the Friday and Wednesday night races?

To be honest i have had great luck with Whirlwind Sails out of CA. Chip Buck is a great sailmaker and is making my new self tacking jib right now.... Check out his website.. http://whirlwindsails.com -

So i saw the boat today and i have a couple questions.
1. were was it kept as it had barnacles on it.
2. why would it have 2 port holes with in a couple IN.
3. i want to hear the camping story it must have been bad.
looks like a fun boat cant wait to go out on our boats together. -

2. to make repairs
3. the story i heard was: they went sailing in pretty heavy air... didn't make it to the island they were trying to get to, capsized and some gear was lost. The boat was later sold to someone in the middle of the state,
but it fourd its way back home...
