I have one, not made by EDO, I have been working fiberglass on it for quite some time over the last two years. It was built by a company in a very small rural Kansas town, not far from Wichita. It had places in the hull which were as thin as 1/16 of an inch. It had large stress cracks all over...

I rigged it this weekend and the sail is in good shape, a little sun faded where it was exposed while rolled up (it sat...

I just got a (1978?) Star Dancer clonefish on a trailer for 350 clams, it looks pretty good, lots of cracks around the top of the daggerboard hole, trailer needs sprucing up. The rudder is warped from sitting in New Mexico desert air for ten years, but I think I can straighten it. It has a...
