This sailboat has been stored inside most of it's time except for two weeks during vacation in Minnesota. Sails are made by Murphy and Nye and are much newer and in excellent condition. There are some minor stains from the being folded in contact with the adhesive around the window. Spars are aluminum. While the boat is designed for competition, I find that it makes a great recreational and fun boat for daysailing. It is so stable that you can easily walk around the bow and deck areas. The Snowco trailer is customized to fit the hull and was sandblasted and painted in 2006. An old but servicable fitted canvas cover is included. For central Iowans, a dry storage space at Big Creek State Park is included.
David, thanks for listing my Johnson M16, ad code: Melges M16F. I sold it off another site, but I know I got tons of exposure from good 'ol sailingtexas.com.
