Looking to locate a boat that was owned and sailed by my dad un the 1980's. It was a Lindahl 18sq meter, sail number 174. I believe it was originally sold to someone in the Detroit area. Figured posting it here was worth a shot.

Good luck with the search, that would be cool to find your dad's boat. What hulls did the Lindahl 18 Squares use?

John Lindahl was an outlier in early 70's CRAM days. Sailing his homebuilt A cat, pointing 15 degrees higher than Hobies & Prindles. We just ignored him, hell we had class racing, big classes & growing and he was alone occasionally accompanied by Dave Ward. Little did we know! Pete -
