#1173 is a true barn find. At some point around the turn of the century, she was given a new transom, gunwhales and some hull patching. The work must have been done by a professional because it's very good. Then she was purchased by a guy who put her in the barn loft for 15 or twenty years. He gave the boat to my 89 year old neighbor who stored her in his shop for two years before I acquired #1173 from him. After the restoration, no hardware was re-installed although a lot of the hardware is in a box...

This boat is being sold by the Stephen C. Smith Memorial Regatta Foundation, Inc. which raises money for the American Cancer Society. Located at Shell Point, about 30 miles south of Tallahassee. It was given to us by a gentleman who bought it to refinish but he got too ill to complete the job. However, he did re do the entire gunwale and a few other things. All it really needs is to lightly sand all the woodwork, varnish/seal....and re install all the hardware he removed to work on the boat. From 1-5, 5 being best, it is probably a...

Most Excellent Woodie
PopularPosted 2 months ago by Gill Chandler
Beautifully restored boat has been covered in my garage since 2001. Due to ongoing chronic lower back issues, it is time for someone else to take over the helm. Topside and transom are bright, hull is light blue. Old Shore sails are still usable, but no good for racing. Much Newer, used, Norths still have plenty of race in them (boat priced accordingly). Aro spars, wood/lead cb, wood ruder, new rails, fwd grating, 45 braces, and stanchions. Shock cord @ spin turtles and hiking straps has gone limp. Gator, breaking trailer w/bearing buddies and spare tire. Lights and wiring are...

Stiff hull with beautiful teak rails. Rigging needs some work, but the boat has been raced over the past year. Great project boat that needs a little bit of TLC. Comes with a full set of sails and spinnaker pole. Trailer is road-worthy, but has not been tested with long distances. More pictures can be seen on instagram @thistle_2837 or upon request.

GMW #3506 Race Ready!
PopularPosted 2 months ago by Eileen Gladd
Wasabi is a well known club racer in the Annapolis and Westport areas. I got her in 2015/2016 and made repairs including retabbing the seats and replacing the keelson on both sides with Mahogany. She still has many years left in her and is ready to go as-is. She is set up perfectly and I have suggested others copy her running rigging because it is simple and effective. I have a kitchen full of 2nd and 3rd place trophies won with Wasabi. I haven't been able to get in front of the wood boats in the Annapolis chop, but...
