Sometimes giving kids the very best from the start kind a spoils them when things don’t go well. Sometimes giving kids semi junk helps them learn to “Improvise and overcome.” (If not totally frustrated and disgusted and causing them to quit) When our son was skiing and was competitive nationally, I always made sure he had the very best ski I could afford. Now, that i help out with children’s triathlons and am personally competing in Senior Olympic cycling, I CRINGE at what I see parents putting thier children on at these triathlons. And yes, I have seen children injured when cheap, rusty, worn out, un-maintained bikes came apart on them. so That said, it is a tough call. But Safe equipment always trumps cheap or fast.

Norse Horse 611 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Looks like a WWP but with a cabin from a 26fter fitted. Some kind of cruel eye candy for dreamers who have looked at several thousand 1960's plan books and chose this to spend countless hours on, then find out nobody really wants to buy it. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/boa/d/campbell-kit-sail-boat/7020046643.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder when those trailer tire were "new" - when he started on the boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But for how long? Even interior staining carries a recommendation of a coat of satin varnish before use. I think I’ll pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foiling Optimist 248 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 "Just about ready for 1st voyage! Trailer tires and bearings are new. 2" ball." This does suggest the idea a voyage involving trailering the boat on land, so one might not worry about fixing up the actual boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
