Apparently, they seem to be quite popular down there, saw at least several
dozen.

For sale, by owner. They spent the last 11 years sailing around the Carib,
they plan on buying a land yacht and spend the next ten years cruisng around
the US.

The first one looks OK, but I do not understand why people fair in
minor dents, The second is a hunk of junk and need to be melted, the
last one with the wooden mast looks well cared for but still ugly
compared to redcloud.

Thanks for the pics.

You sure that third one is steel and not ferro cement?

I think your right Otn.

The mast stay straps would be welded on not bolted or rivited and seen
in the photo.

Good eye!

20 points. Easier with a high res pic, but impressive nonetheless.
