Might try a wanted ad on Craigslist, although you are more likely to have luck as summer approaches.

riccardo_I, I’m in central CT. I’ve got a wooden sailfish that I planned to finish restoring in the spring. It’s complete and has a great sail, wooden mast and booms. I’d consider selling it now. I’ll send you a private message here tomorrow with more details.

Hi, just sent message and pics. Thanks

Sure, send other people pictures...not like we'd want to see them or anything...

Haha! Most have been posted here previously but here it is!

Thanks Breeze Bender!

She looks ready for a Leak Test and then paint. Did you do all the prep work?

Yes, I prepped and sealed the top with one coat of West System 105/207 before the cold weather set in. Plan to finish sealing and paint in the spring. You have given me great advice on this project.

Have you done an air leak test? We found some small leaks along the seams that we scraped out a bit and sealed with injected thickened epoxy. Surprisingly there were no leaks in the daggerboard trunk.

 

[Breeze Bender]

I haven’t tested it yet but do have the Six-Ten thickened epoxy- love that stuff! Spring is coming, though it’s hard to believe with 13” of snow on the ground. I just came in from cross country skiing. It was beautiful and a great workout but I’d rather be sailing!

Haven’t heard anything back from riccardo_I so I’ll assume he’s not interested in my wooden Sailfish. It will be for sale again in late spring when I have finished the restoration.
