For some wacky reason this link is not working?

Is worth a look to check out the sails and the hull to see what's the condition on this 25-year old boat?

Anyway, this looks like it could be a good el cheapo fixer upper if the sails are in decent shape. Go to Home Depot and get a gallon of Glidden Gripper primer, plus a gallon of high gloss exterior in some super bright color with non-slip traction mixed in .... and do a paint job above the waterline, and for below the waterline.....clean it up and wax the white fiberglass........now, you got something to do!
