New member that needs help
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2013 10:20 am
Before I get started, let me introduce myself. My name is Bill and I have been out of sailing for awhile but still love the sport. I've sailed in many states and countries. I've owned three boats over the years statring with an AMF Puffer and ending (until now) with a Catalina 30. Now for what I need help with.
On Sunday I was given a "project" boat. It is a 1978 Chrysler according to the HIN and manufacturers plate on the stern. The numbers are (HIN) CBC51392 M78E and 244AA51392 respectively. We measured the boat while upside down and it measured 17' 6". It is a dagger board boat not a swing keel so I don't think it is a buccaneer. It looks more like a laser on steroids. I only have the hull and mast, but it appears to be a sloop rig. Didn't see any roller furling gear or setup either. One of the things that perplexes me is that it is a dual cokpit withthe daggerboard trunk seperating the cockpit sections. Seating is on the deck not inside the boat.
I have some pictures on the iPhone but can't get them off yet. Will post when able. Any ideas or help is appreciated. I would love to resurrect this boat because it looks wicked fast and is very pretty.
