new beast

[Andre Cloutier]

Merry Xmas to me
Cruiser stemmed and cherry trimmed, currently being light sanded for new varnish and paint. Kool tanbark sail, all in excellent condition - dont mind the quick rigging job, just for show. Pays to drive over to obscure ebay ads after they close when the owner discloses they are leaving the province ....

Cool! It needs a mast that's about 12" longer (this one is too short to have decent leverage on the gaff).

12" too short

Thanks for confirming that for me Todd, it seemed to require a lot of effort and the angle seems crazy, with it pulling almost all at the bottom of the gaff..
Guess me and Fitz will be 8-siding soon.
