Help!! I bought a boat!

berkshire1 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-13-2008

I just bought a repossessed 28' Buccaneer. I believe it is a 1979 model. I have no manuals, specs or information on it at all. I have never sailed on my own and I am looking for all the information I can get.
Does anyone know where I can info on the boat. It needs quiet a bit of work, interior, electrical, new main sail, etc.

Congrats on the new boat, great thread title, and welcome to sailnet

Do you have specific questions, that might help get you better answers. Sounds like a lot of work ahead, good luck!

Which model? Here is a link to manuals for several models...Buccaneer's Den

It seems their manuals have several models per manual.

Wow what a response! I now have the owners manual and found out I have a 270.
You guys are great!
