Don,
If he is handy (or has friends who are handy) with tools, he will probably
get one hell of nice boat for cruising.

I knew someone who had a nice wide "pig" of a boat, he always came in last,
but he had a hammock swinging from the boom, and a sunpad on the foredeck,
both of them held beautiful girls in bikini's. (He used to go to the strip
clubs to find woman who wanted to spend the day on a boat.)

He always came in dead last, but no one had more fun on the water than he
did.

It might make a good fixer upper for cruising, but I would be very
surprised if it would be completive in PHRF racing. If he gets the boat
and use it for PHRF, you will have to let us know how you do.


Our 'skipper' isn't a serious racer. He liked to do the Wednesday night
club races and the usual regattas, but that was about it.
He really wants the boat for afternoon social cruises. His usual MO
.....leave the slip at 1300 or 1330 hrs, sail as far as he can until about
1530 hrs and then turn around and head for home. If everyone on board is
having a good time with food & drink..good conversation etc, he's happy.
I tired of this after numerous trips and am more interested in exploring.
