Bryan,

Did you guys come to a conclusion? Albuquerque to Austin is quite a stretch but anything is possible if you are really interested.

Deke,

If you still have it with no dibs, let me know. I live about 45 miles from Austin. I also had the front half of the folding schooner built 15 years ago but a move gave me no place to finish it. I've always like the styling.

My only problem would be convincing the boss to let me take on another project. She sees bikes in the garage and boats in the yard - and one of them is dead-dead-dead.

I don't answer my phone so email me atcarln@...or post here.

thanks

> >Boat is located in Austin, TX.  I've attch some pics including a recent one.  As you can see the hull is in bad condition.  Also, after sailing it for the first three years I modified the boat by adding a 300lb steel keel which made it more user friendly and did not seem to slow it down.  It could be rebuilt with this keel or with a center board as originally designed.  I still have the CB.  The trailer is dirty but solid.  It would only need new/used tires to make it road worthy.  Hope this helps.  Feel free to call me if you'd like to talk about it.

> >>Great looking schooner, Great boat! !   I built one of these 20yrs ago and sailed it to a first to finish in a 20mi local regatta that included 73 competitors.  Unfortunatly it has been parked in my back yard now for about 10 years and the hull has deteriorated from collected rain water. The spars, sails, rigging etc. have been stored inside and are in good condition.  It would be an outstanding project for someone.  The hull is  very quick and easy to construct (see Paysons' Instant boats).  It is available FREE along with its trailer to someone who has the time and desire for a great boat project.  Please contact me if interested and I can send pictures of it in pristine condition and as it sits now.
