ken connors Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 A neighbor of mine told me I was welcome to take this old daysailer out of his yard after he saw me restore a Grand Banks dory. This one is in a lot worse shape than the dory was. He tells me it was one of handful of this design that were made for the NY yacht club. It appears to be cold-molded. Still has the original cotton sail The exterior has been glassed, not sure if that was original. The glass has failed in several places and already has some patches. I'm guessing I should start by removing all the glass and take it from there. Anybody recognize the design or know where I might get more info on her? She's 12' long and about 4-1/2 beam. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 She does look rough but from the pics it seems to be sound. Is it? Quote
ken connors Posted July 15, 2007 Author Posted July 15, 2007 That's the good news, Greg. She's layered with mahogany veneers with no sign of rot anywhere. Outer rails are shot, but thats easy. Started removing the fiberglass today-that's NOT easy Quote
