I know you don't have all the details, but do you happen to know if the sails were stolen too, or just the boat itself? -

Will keep an eye out for it in South Florida. Can you post the ID number and were the sails stolen as well or just the hull, mast etc. -

Will watch out on the MS coast. The main sail will be hard to miss.

Yes, I think the whole thing was stolen, including the sails. So watch for the boat as a whole as well as parts being sold off.
The fact that it's an unusual color should help.

I really thought this boat would be found quickly. Those yellow hulls, hard to believe someone would steal it to hide, or bother to paint it.
Anyone heard anything?

Just kidding popeyez7, no problem, I shouldn't have taken the shot, although I do have my reasons.
Anyway, at least this bumps this thread back to the top so more people know about the stolen H16. (back on topic!)
