Pearson HAWK 16'

[Cody Stewart]

Hello, I just picked up a Pearson HAWK 16'. The boat is in good sailing condition equipped with all original sails, parts and rigging. I can't find much info on the net about this boat and I was hoping someone could school me on it. It's a cute little day sailor. I'm also interested in reconditioning the original gel-coating and sails. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
CS

Other than soaking in Oxyclean, maybe loosening the bolt rope if it has shrunk, there really isn't much to be done to "recondition" sails. Soft and baggy sails are slow, draggy sails.
