This is the one you've been waiting for, and the newest fiberglass lightning owned by the Lightning Class Museum (a private collection of Lightnings). Builder is unknown (Allen) build circa 1976. Valued at over $2500, she is tricked out with Harken rachett blocks, dual controls for spinnaker halyard, double downhaul dacron jib and main, nylon spinnaker, Allen black anodized oval mast & boom with internal halyards, spinnaker with pole, spinnaker sheet twangs, main downhaul & vang, padded hiking straps, Shorelander trailer with jack on the front, great (larger) tires & bearing buddies (actually she's resting comfortably a double jet ski trailer, but longitudinal bunks hold & support the boat perfectly). Polished stainless steel centerboard, stainless steel rigging,  can be easily singlehanded even with the spinnaker!  Downhaul & barber hauler controls are located across the front of the cockpit for the crew's convenience.  She is ready to take you out on the water.  Only negative is the foredeck is a little spongy with age & could use some attention & the cover shown in a couple pictures is not included.  Deck & hull is white with a blue area around the non-skid areas.  She features 3 Harken hex-a-ratchet blocks on the main sheet and one on each side under the deck for the spinnaker sheets. She's tircked out with the double-downhaul Shore jib in pics (older one has some mouse damage bur newer one still crinkles). She also has a North dacron mail with 2 windows (one to see jib setting on spreader) which has only been used a few times.  She also boasts an aluminum spinnaker pole. Solid hull and great sales with no holes.  I'd take her out tomorrow, but we have 140 other sailboats to liquidate from our museum.  This is the only fiberglass Lightning we will be selling, so hurry and bid now as there's no reserve!!
