I agree with comments regarding the wheel and OB. It's a perfect candidate for a pod drive. I think the money would have been better spent on some overnight accommodations. For a gentleman's daysailer, if that's what it is, it's got an awful lot of strings to pull.

Hell, if you have the batteries for a pod drive, just put an electric winch in the 'Gentleman's Daysailor Package'.
And it would have to be a gentlemen's daysailer, as all those strings are on the other side of that wheel. You could hold a long tiller between your knees while you jiggered the Secondary Genoa Foot Tension line. With the wheel you could only squint & bite your pipe stem & drawl, "A bit more rhubarb on that footl'n, Arthur ... good lad." (Unless your crew is named Mary, in which case she says "Shut up and let me do my job, Skippy.")

I was surprised to read only 1500 International Etchells were built. Seems like they have been everywhere forever. Kind of sexy in a librarian-in-a-pencil-skirt way.

For some reason, the owner seems to think that fiberglass is not FRP. He says the boat is FRP, which is "much better than fiberglass." I hate to tell him that it may be FRP, but it's also fiberglass.I wonder what the story is regarding this boat?

it has a trailer
the Dash and a Santana 35(?) used to share a finger pier at the foot of the B dock bridge. it was an amusing contrast between the skinny Dash and the fat Santana. they one thing they shared was a LOT of rigging.
