Gary,
Many years ago, 1987 to be exact, helped a new owner move one of these up from the Cape to a fall haulout at Plymouth. It had a shoal draft with centerboard, I believe.
I was impressed with construction and quality of the standing and running
rigging from the factory. The keel configuration hurt its pointing capabilities. It was a new boat that had a lot of
horns and whistles for that era. I remember going into Plymouth motorsailing and all of sudden a
horn went off. We had heeled over enough (less than 10 degrees) to pull the raw water port out of the water. I hate those
horns on strange boats!! We killed the auxillary and drifted to edge of the channel and another
horn goes off - depth alarm!!
I remember as pretty beamy with a lot of cabin volume. Would be interested to know how these have aged.
