thanks ron. i'll do my best to keep you all in the know once i get down below and have a look around. for everyone's sake? i bought this from the nephew of gene cerex...long time member of Richmond YC. Gene crossed 'the bar' about 6 months ago.

i can report- upon first view? the boat needs to be hauled, rubbed out and waxed. it's never been painted. i'm sure it needs a bottom job. but it's been unmolested. no holes, no cracks no soft spots.

hoping in the spring time to put boat back in the water- polished and shined and see how fast those old sails will make it go.
