They don't have a time stamp embedded. I can't find any in the properties. If there's
one somewhere it probably says January 1, 2002. Every time the batteries go dead in my camera
the date goes back to 2002. I gave up resetting it all the time. I don't use the date on my pictures
anyway.

There's room for two adults and two or three kids to sleep. Two long quarterberths under the cockpit.
Sitting headroom in the main cabin. No stove, no sink, not even a water tank. You have to take everything
like your going tent camping.

Your right. The sails are originals and pretty stretched out. The mainsail is in better shape than the jib.
The jib has a wire along the front. It's all rusty and the sail is stained. It needs a leech line. The leech flaps
when going upwind. It's about impossible to roll up the jib. The wire's too stiff. If I roll the mainsail it won't
fit in the bag. It's too long. It's easier to stuff them. They're not for racing. They're colorful for day sailing
around. They look OK from a distance. They get smoother after a couple hours up.

Your welcome.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. If you don't have anything good to say try keeping quiet.....
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. :-o~

You come up to Plowville and I'll put a leech line on that
sail for you.

Why thank you Scotty. But however can I possibly show my gratitude? ;-)

Try shifting the jibsheet turning block further forward. This will pull the
leech tighter
