My mom bought her at a charity auction thinking it would lure the grand kids back to the lake. Not exactly the right boat for that and the grand kids were coming back to the lake anyhow. I rigged and sailed it a handful of times but am not an authority on this boat. It has been in storage for 4-5 years. It was campaigned by the late Walt Blackler here in the Finger Lakes. It’s not a showpiece, more of a daily driver. It needs some work but is all there: Hull, centerboard, rudder, tiller, mast, boom, spinnaker pole (though no spinnaker), three sets of sails, cover and a trailer.
The hull has some dock rash and crazing but I believe it’s all cosmetic. Bright work is in need of refinishing. No flotation blocks or lines. The trailer is rusted and the tires are flat. I have searched for a registration to no avail.
$500.00 to be donated to the Skaneateles Lake Association
