Hi;
I know this type of questions get flogged to death so please don't beat me up to bad.
I'm looking at a handyman special 1968 24 foot Sailstar Corsair, or it could be a Bristol Corsair, or perhaps a Bristol 24. It's part of an estate sale and has been on the hard for at least four years and the broker has no idea when it was last sailed.
Anyway are there any known specific problem areas on this boat I need to look at? I know these are built like the proverbial brick s**t houses but all things get old and this is real old.
At this point I've only walked around the boat and I'm at the yup it's there point
This may even be a silly question, at this age perhaps I should be considering it a bare hull?
Any thoughts, you guys know better than I do.
