think we should buy it but there are some problems with it. Larry Leistiko
and Joe Steele went down and looked at it. Larry says that it looks like
someone treated it with VC tar or some other black paint. He says the
bottom is rough. He thinks that taking it down and epoxying the bottom
will take care of it. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

also said that there was water in the bilge and he is concerned that the water
has frozen and perhaps weakened the bilge stub. There are fixes for this
also. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

also know that the sails are extremely old and there is no spinnaker pole
(halyard and topping lift?). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=990140017-18082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It's a
project for someone. It's like a woman. The hull is
reasonable. The rigging is costly. We should be prepared to help the
buyer and the buyer should know that there will be expenses.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is on a cradle and could be put on a flat bed
