New dance with an old partner
Article Abstract:
A sailor's assignment to identify and discuss a series of older 'classic' fiberglass boats that could be purchased at a good price and converted or updated into safe, comfortable, nice-to-sail boats for budget-minded cruisers and adventures is discussed. This inspired the sailor to search for older Cal 40 boat in need of a refit, which led him to the purchase of Dancing Bear as major project.
