Hi! I'm new to this forum and can't wait to post a picture of my baby. She's a blue '69 that was bought used for our family in the 70's. She sat unused while we all (4 kids) raised our families and now I've got her back and in great sailing shape! I live on the Tuckahoe River in South Jersey and the boat has all original rigging, including sail, rudder and daggerboard (wood).
I had a little problem with taking on water last year, but logged onto your forum to get ideas on how to check for leaks and get her fixed up. This was a great sailing year for me...I might even take her out today..with a north east wind blowing and exceptionally high tides. The temperature is 55 degrees...brrrr! I have a question: why install inspection ports? Do you use them for drainage?
