When I bought this boat it had drifted off of it's mooring and rubbed on the rocks near the club untill it sank. It had small holes in the hull on one side. At the time it sank it had no interior, just cusions. I bought it because it had everything it needed to sail. 5 sails and a spinnaker and all the hardware was there. All I had to do was fix the hull and I had alot of expirence working with fiberglass. I work at a marina so that fall between christmas and newyears eve, when the shop was closed I did the repairs. 4 days hard labor to do the glass work and paint the hull up to the rail. That boat would have endded up in the bone yard and now she shines.
This photo is one of my favorites. Lake Wissota is a nice lake to sail on. Our little club held the Holder nationals this year and last. LWYC
We live in northern Wisconsin and we were wed at a camp on the lake that we moore the boat at and stayed onboard for our wedding night. We have owned the boat for 7 years and we have enjoyed sailing her very much.
Our Pearson Lark. I formed a rear step platform out of fiberglass that extended the hull 18 inch's. It reduced the drag alot. Now the only wake behind the boat is just a little swirrel on top the water. I also glassed in the outboard underneath because the hole provided for the motor was about a foot square and the water would scoop up into the motor compartment and cause alot of drag. Those 2 things made this boat sail much better and added speed. There's no gurgleing sound from the water slipping off the hull now, just silence.
