Default hello

A fellow who works at the marina where my son was a dockboy this summer
bought one of those for $500. There's another on that appears to be
abandoned at my old marina. If you need spars or other such parts, I could
find out if it's being junked.

The rudder on the one at my marina was a very suspect looking design. It
was made to fold up which is unnecessary on a fin keel boat. I don't know
whether they built them that way or perhaps built a swing keel or
centerboard version and the original rudder was replaced with one of those.

Otherwise, I don't know much about these boats as I've only seen them from a
distance or from ground level hauled out.

It didn't strike me as the kind of boat you would want to get exposed to any
serious weather in though.
