Found our new Sailboat
 

Well, I gave the guy a deposit on the sailboat and in my opinion I have the
ultimate trailerable sailboat (for my likes and needs anyway). I did not
want to post what it was (like I did too soon on that Rienel) until I had
money on it. It is a 80 South Coast 26'a and it is in almost perfect
condition. All core is solid, teak in and out looks like new, standing and
running rigging good, sails good with a new 150, 15 hp long shaft Johnson
with electric start and alternator, 2 anchors 150 rode each, dual axle
trailer with surge brakes and spare tire, deck and bilge dry, deck lights on
spreaders, depth sounder, VHF, nice cushions in and out, curtains etc., two
burner alcohol stove, enclosed head with teak louver door, galley sink, sink
in head, auto pilot and a boat load of stuff all neat and stowed. This boat
has a 1,400 lb fin/bulb keel that retracts with the aid of an electric (and
manual override) winch, 6' 2" headroom. Now this boat is made for comfort
and stability more than speed. Her driving sail is her foresail. I have
sailed on a boat just like this a friend of mine in California has and he
sails it out into the Pacific to Catalina all the time. When the keel lower
down it locks into a wedge and becomes and performs like a fixed keel boat.
There is no keel trunk to cause drag, the bottom is smooth. Well, I just
though I would share my excitement. It looks like I will be selling my two
other sailboats now. Oh, I got the boat for $5000 and since the boat was so
well cared for, I did not haggle at all out of appreciation of all the work
he saved me. It is turn key, just raise her rigging, back her down the ramp
and put her in her new slip. She has never been in salt water either.

Happy Sails,
John

Sounds like a great deal. Good for you. You couldn't even buy a new
waverunner for that.

I will try to post some links to photos tonight. The boat is 1500 miles away
from my house right now. A friend of mine who lives up there is going to
pull it halfway down and I will meet him and drag it the rest. This will not
happen until early to mid August. The wait is killing me, I am as anxious as
a bulldog on a chain. I know patience is a virtue, or so they say. The boat
is in Michigan. He only had it in the water 3 months a year and the rest of
the time, it was under a canvas. I think I found a real jewel for the price.

South Coast Seacraft was located in Shreveport Louisiana. Were some of the
sailboats finished out in Galveston?
I am not to far from Clear Lake. I am in Beaumont TX.
Next year I will drag it to Kemah for the July fourth fireworks on Clear
Lake. I hear it is an awesome boat party, with all the boats rafted up on
Clearlake.

Yes it is, but the smart thing now is to go out into the bay about 1
mi. off Kemah.

You see firework shows from Kemah, Clearlake, Houston, Baytown,
Galveston, Texas City Dyke, League City, and a half dozen other spots
that Im not sure off.

It's awesome on a moonless night. The Jet fighters out of Ellington
field put on a hell of a show as well, they the local neighborhood
patrol. Usually a fly over of 4 and they touch off their afterburner
one by one and peel off into that wild blue Yonder and dissapear.

Sail by and say hello. We will be in the lake and the bay 2 hours
before sundown and come back to the dock around midnight. Thats the
usual schedule and is subject to chance at any time.

The rest of the time we will be spending at the dock party on the
north side of Clearlake at the taylor lake cut. Feel free to stop by..
you cant miss my boat its a Red Ketch.
