1960 Old Town OTCA sailing canoe

[Richard Shackelford]

I have recently acquired a 17 foot Old Town sailing canoe. The canoe is in great shape. Unfortunatly it did not come with the rudder assembly, lee boards, or mast. I do have the gaff and boom with the original sail. Any help finding these missing parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is not unusual. You may need to buy a whole canoe (or two) with a sail rig to get the parts you need. The good news is that you can often resell the canoe alone for most of what you paid for the package. There is a sail rig at https://www.ebay.com/itm/284720754818 if you are in a hurry. Good luck,

Benson

Thank you, Benson.

I bought a pair of appropriate leeboards at a clean out auction that I’m hoping to bring and donate to the Assembly Auction. No leeboards thwart, rudder assembly or mast.

Thanks again Benson. I'll try reaching out and see if it's still available.
