O Day Mariner 2+2 my driveway/ Lake Wallenpalpac
Fact finding mission for a friend.
We had sailed Sun fishes when we were kids, but Jim had gone over to the "motor side" and deserted the wind.
The last 10 years or so he has been up Clayton N.Y. fishing on his powerboat on the St. Lawerence.
I've had him out in my PT a few times and he's addicted to sailing again!
Now he wants a sail boat to fool @ with here (lakes) and possible up there (St. Lawerence).
Was raining one weekend and he went boat shopping and saw this boat.
I saw the add on line and what caught my eye.......
draft of 1'-11" (he likes that- to go fishing in it, spend the night on her in he coves @ some of the islands up there).
but no swing keel??? How does it handle heeling?
So I thought I can find out for hime from the peopel who know these boats
any thoughts? The good, bad, ugly, what to look for would be wonderful.
I dunno if he had actually walked on her, checked the deck hull for soft soft etc. The boat shop he was at seems like a reputable place, so if there was a problem, they'd tell him or have it fixed.
Thanks!
Joe
