Glad you're helping this guy out. It's a pretty boat and doesn't seem to need much to become serviceable. Wish I was uninvolved with my larger project!!

[JonathanSail]

Thanks,

I also have thought of shifting effort from my current project but am too far along to do that at this point. I hope that whoever gets her back into shape does it here so that I can see her back in the water and maybe get to go for a sail on her!, she is a beauty.

Barry was there each time I hauled out at Bock - nice guy. I bought his brand new chain a couple years ago. Sorry to hear his health is not well.

[JonathanSail]

I'll tell him you said hello. He actually mentioned that chain the other day, so I'm sure he remembers you.

Fortunately, after a lot of hospital time this Winter, Barry is back on his feet and getting around pretty good. Unfortunately he's been told that he only has a handful of years or so left. He seems ready and able to make the most of them though..

It's come to my attention that this boat was inspired by, and follows the lines of the boat Tradewind which was designed by Thomas Harrison Butler as opposed to be directly designed by Harrison Butler. If I learn anything else about her I'll pass it on.

Thanks,

Jonathan

what kind of repairs is the boat looking at? i really love the look of the classic.

[JonathanSail]

Hello Laxaholic,

Yes she is a real beauty. I've updated the page for the boat:

with a list of the biggest repairs that I have seen in looking through the boat but coming to see her in person will be the best way to get a feel for what will be involved in the cleanup. Let me know if you have more specific questions.
