Did my boat come with wood rudder & centerboard?

I have what I think is a 1975 boat. S/N PSL250670375
Would it have come stock with wood boards?
It has plastic grab rails now.

Thanks
Sam

Wood blades, yes. Plastic grab rails- no. Looks like you have hull #6703 to me. I had a 76 model that was # 8859. It had wood blades and grab rails.

I believe that hull/sail number is 25067
That fits with a '75 vintage hull

Did it orignally come with wood blades ? I"m not 100% sure, but I think 74 was the last year with wood blades in North America.

Again thanks.
So I guess I need to find a set of glass boards in order to race it.
Do you think some one would protest me for having wood boards?
Seeing that they may not have come with the boat.
