I looked around and although I thought I'd once seen a set of year/model/serial numbers for at least the powerboats, I couldn't find it again. Has to be older than 72/73 since there's no HIN, and Lone Star made them as early as 1963.. I have seen them with the red deck and white hull. Mine is the o...

Hey guys, the only id on my LS-13 is the Hull number 2210057. Is there any way to date the boat from the hull number?

Hi ronney! My Pirateer came without battens. I found a good replacement batten at sailrite.com (part # 103325-058-24). I'm guessing that the the LS and Pirateer used the same battens. They are 5/8" wide x 1/4" thick at the center and tapered toward both edges. Easy to cut to length. Not v...

I've used a thin piece of PVC-ish molding from either Lowes Or Home Depot before - on the Coronado C15. Guessing it was about 1/8" thick and 1/2" wide. That's the spirit - get her on the water, and you'll have to much fun to care about the exact batten ! 8) That's a great idea, thanks!

I am restoring an old LS-13. I have good sails, but the 3 battens are missing. Does anyone know what the original thickness and width of these boards were?
