an old boat and enthusiastic new owner

Tom is a good sailor but his boat had been built in 1972 and was a poorly made cheapie even then. really big snip What would you tell this guy? The boat's lasted this long. Cheap for '72 is better than current technology. Xan's keel was laid in August 72, so I have a fondness for that particular year. You describe pretty much the norm for used boats, sad to say. I'm finally getting around to replacing Xan's 35 year-old stays this week. I could probably keep the old ones for a few years as there's only slight sign of corrosion, but I am more comfortable with changing them out. -- Jere Lull Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
