Plastic Classic Forum

We have been sailing for , ahem , awhile . I have seen this boat (the clean one) around our marina and at our favorite island mooring field since the beginning of our sailing . Now what I'm going to try to describe are two boats , I think they are the same design . the thing is the really clean one is in a 40' slip and the one falling apart one is in a 35' slip . Our marina is very strict about size , so one must be a little smaller , I think they look the same size to me . To me this design looks to be from the 70's and was a serious cruising design . The one falling apart is mainly just cosmetic gel coat . And yes both are tiller steered and transom hung rudder.

And the other one . Sorry pics aren't real good , the only difference I can tell is the good one does not have a hatch before the little bow house .

You know now looking at the pics the black one has the cockpit a little different . but the mast chain plates and rigging are the same .
