Seller Comments:


This boat was purchased new from Torrensen Marine in Muskegon Michigan in 1997. It has only sailed in Lake Michigan, and was trailered between the lake and storage facility in Logan Square. The hull has never been damaged; primer with VC 17 is the only paint on the hull. The head plates on the rudder have been replaced. The mast was repaired at the base after it was dropped and cracked the aluminum. Larsen Marine in Waukegan did the repair. Harken Roller furling added and 110 jib modified to fit the roller furling. All standing rigging is original equipment, and uses the Hunter easy mast raising system.
