This boat is complete and as fun to sail as I remember when I was last on a SCOW in the mid-1960's. A gin pole setup makes it possible for one person to safely step the stick. Anyone want to get together for a day of sailing in central GA let me know.
Sometimes you get lucky - a Meges M-20 that hasn't seen the light of day since 1998 and only light use before

Wow, it looks pristine — good score! It looks like the old wooden “D” racing scows that I used to sail on in Minnesota years ago. Twin rudders, twin bilgeboards, flat bottom, running back stays, self tending jib, spinnaker and a huge main made more so with a very long boom all contributed to a nimble rocket ride. The woodwork of those old boats was astounding.
I sail on the upper Chesapeake Bay and it wouldn’t be a good fit at all. But lakes and rivers are where those scows were bred for. Enjoy!!

So jealous right now.
Welcome to the forums. I am looking forward to reading more about your adventures with your new (like new) scow. I too like the name.
