Question Need info on a Kenner Privateer 26

Does anybody have any info on a Kenner Privateer 26, cutter rigged? The boat I will be looking at is a 1968 which has been updated over the last four years. I am particualrly concerned about the reputation for quality, any chronic problems outside of those you would normally encounter with a boat this age, ease of sailing, etc. I could get this boat at a reasonable price and it is currently in the water and has been sailed frequently this season. Just need info, since I have never sailed one, but thought it would worth looking into. Thanks.

Mike

You sure that is not a graduate of the University of New Orleans that moved out to the suburbs?

Ahoy Primerate

There is a fellow at our marina that has one, It sails like a banshee. Alot of fun. He uses it to daysail. I'll talk to him and see if there are any major problems with the boat. I do know his backstay ripped out of the stern. He fixed it in a couple of days and is now back at it.

I'd appreciate it, Cap'n Dave. I located a website on the boat and there seems to be a pretty active owners group. Any info would help my decision.
