kydocfrog Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Charlie Girl II, my slot-top Weekender is for sale. I have the opportunity and my wife's blessing to pursue a somewhat larger, more stable full keel boat. CG II is constructed of marine plywood with taped seams. She is not completely glassed. I know that is heresy, but when I was building her, the goal was a boat to sail, not a boat that would outlast me. Her interior is finished to very high standards; her exterior has more dubious dings and drips, but is sound and functional. Her semi-slot top is, im my estimation, a major safety improvement, and tablernacle mast arrangement is, I think, stronger than the basic door hinge design. She needs a professional tonneau cover and new washboards for the slot top and companion way, could use real mast-hoops, and some real yacht braid lines would not hurt. She is on a trailer. Both CG II and the trailer are for sale by bill of sale only; neither are registered. KY is a non-registration state as long as no power is involved, and I have never registered her. Professionally made poly sails, extra boom, trailer, and other bits and pieces included. I want to express my appreciation to all the folks at messing-about who have guided, commented, and advised over the last -- gee, three years? --as she has come together. This is a fun group, and I hope I won't be banished. Asking $1800. Located in Versailles, Kentucky. Pictures are available in various previous posts in the main forum.

Guest rgreen1991 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hello- I've moved to Shelbyville from Florida in the past year. Bought the late Dave Rudel's Vacationer "Idyler" from his widow last fall. New to this forum and KY sailing in general. Can you suggest good KY "sea trial" water for novice sailer and new vessel. Taylorsville Lake maybe? Wife could take the horses while I see if I remember anything of my life as a Sailing Ship Captain from 14 years ago? Thanks..rjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Welcome aboard RJG. You might get more response to your questions if you start a new topic in the Main forum. There should be plenty of people willing to share Kentucky advice there. Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure to sail in that area yet.

PAR Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 If you're near Taylorsville Lake, you'll have plenty to explore. Also check out Beaver, Willisburg, Herrington, Guist Creek and Wilgreen lakes. If in for some adventure, head down to Cumberland lake.
