Identify Old Sailboat ?
I'm asking for your help in identifing this old "project" sailboat (pic attached). The only thing I know so far is that it's 25', swing keel, with a zephyr spar. Once identified... I can start researching for rebuild. Appricate any assistance... thank you.

Re: Identify Old Sailboat ?
ps: (if you already own this boat disregard) you can get a comparable boat, ready to use for as low as $2000

Welcome to the forum sail_on.
There are lots of boats of that size in sail able condition for cheeeep.
However...if you're looking forward to working on her...well that's anouther story.
And Rakuflames is bad...very bad!
