Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Brought home my newest acquisition, ‘72 with trailer.
Hull is in great shape, no dings, dents, holes or repairs. The sail looks original, has the infamous shadow board with a repair but the rudder is in great shape. Trailer could use some modifications but I felt it was a bargain for $175.
Anyhow I spent more time then I had fusing with the trailer and the heat and humidity got the best of me. I never took the boat off the trailer...
so I get her home and this beast was heavy!!!
So full of water you could barely hear it slosh around. I was so amazed at the amount of water coming out after a few minutes I put a bucket under to measure the amount. I counted 20 gallons!!!
Not including the first few minutes of the last bit I let drain while leaned against the fence.
Like I said no obvious damage so I’m guessing the water came in through the mast step, as it was filled with funk and chestnuts
The sail has stripes on the top that were fading off,were these original or did the po paint them on?
