<P>Yes, it will be a project but it's like an older male sailor. Equipment may look reasonable but updating expensive and time consuming to finally hoist the sail.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>I think we should buy it but there are some problems with it. Larry
<DIV></DIV>>Leistiko and Joe Steele went down and looked at it. Larry says that it
<DIV></DIV>>looks like someone treated it with VC tar or some other black paint. He
<DIV></DIV>>says the bottom is rough. He thinks that taking it down and epoxying the
<DIV></DIV>>bottom will take care of it.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>He also said that there was water in the bilge and he is concerned that the
<DIV></DIV>>water has frozen and perhaps weakened the bilge stub. There are fixes for
<DIV></DIV>>this also.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>We also know that the sails are extremely old and there is no spinnaker pole
<DIV></DIV>>(halyard and topping lift?).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>It's a project for someone. It's like a woman. The hull is reasonable.
<DIV></DIV>>The rigging is costly. We should be prepared to help the buyer and the
<DIV></DIV>>buyer should know that there will be expenses.

<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Fellow Sonar Sailors,
<DIV></DIV>> The Sonar in Lake Geneva, WI is still for sale. Price is $2,900 includes
<DIV></DIV>>boat, main, jib, spinnaker, motor. Hull color is white with red water line,
<DIV></DIV>>black mast and trim.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> It is on a cradle and could be put on a flat bed trailer for transport.
<DIV></DIV>>Do you think we should pursue purchase so we have another Sonar in inventory
<DIV></DIV>>to sell?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> John
