I bought this in 2009 as a project. I've sailed her a bit, now it's time for something new.I have redone the swing keel. Pulled it out treated the steel and redid the fiberglass. The keel performs beautifully. I also made a new rudder and tiller. I have repaired all the hardware and installed new standing rigging and running rigging. The hull has been painted inside and out. Bulkheads have been replaced. New water tank for sink.Has a porta-potty.She has been sitting the last 2 seasons so she could use a thorough cleaning. Trailer works however it's ugly. I never could make up my mind to replace it or keep it. Comes with everything you will need to sail. Lifejackets, winch handles, etc.She has a full compliment of sails, main, jib, genoa and  spinnaker.She points well and sails very smooth, floats in less than a foot of water. Set up to single hand.Comes with a Chrysler outboard long shaft 9.9. Tuned up and runs fine.I also have a mast raising system I built, it lets you raise the mast in no time by yourself, pretty handy and takes a lot of the work out of the job.I have some of the interior cushions they are old and need to be redone, I'll throw in the fabric I have to recover them (just never got around to the insides more fun to just sail). I have all of the outside cushions. I never put them back on because they were old and left stains in the fiberglass.
