Cheap boat?
 

Anyone want a Lightning sailboat for cheap? Hull and deck are in good
shape as are the rudder and daggerboard. Rig is all there, but you'll
need a new mast collar and sail. 300 bucks, cash and carry. I have a
red and yellow one, both from the mid 80's. I'm keeping the red one.

She's at City Island if anyone wants her.

Thanks, but I'd really need a trailer for it, since I'd be dry sailing
it. What I'm really hoping to find is a restorable wooden FD like I
had when I was a teenager. I just missed one a few months back.

You can't get one on those on a 757? hehee

I bet you will.... a Lightning weighs 700 pounds

I drive past two FDs... on trailers... almost every day. Sad
boats left in the weeds of a side yard, would need total
restoration.

Hey Bobsprit, if you're not lying about the Lightnings, you
can give us the hull #s, right?

Only if it meets minimum weight. An old boat will probably tip the scales
at 730 or more.

And manufacturer?

Sure. Mine weighed 715 when I bought it, 702 after working
it over (I wanted to allow for some scale error because I
promised her she'd never ever have to wear lead bricks).

But you know Bubble's Lightning would be class-certified at
the razor's edge of minimum weight.

That's a little harder to find. Ask him about corrector
weights, too.

But you can't possible miss the number, even an half-blind
schlamozzle like Boobsie would see it *if* he'd ever so much
as set foot in a Lightning.

Built with pride in North Carolina.

Why doesn't your "client" have a picture of his boat? Surely
he can afford a camera? Or doesn't he have any friends who
might take a picture of his boat?
