Steel Cradle:
Suitable for shipping the boat
I have put the boat and cradle on a trailer twice to move boat on the highway to events several hundred miles away
Condition of Boat and Equipment:
overall the boat and equipment are in very good to excellent condition
the hull showed signs of osmosis blistering a number of years ago
this was corrected by silica blasting the hull to open up all the damage and then coating the surface with a coal tar epoxy
(a PETIT product similar to VC TAR) this was done from the waterline down
the topsides are in original gelcoat in good condition
the boat is in RACE condition
the only thing that the boat needs is some TLC to fix the cosmetic details
Reason for Selling such a GREAT boat:
Although I built this boat and have enjoyed sailing her for 23 years, I finally decided to step up to a bigger boat. So of course I bought a boat with similar characteristics to a T'Bird. In July of last summer I came across a deal I could not ignore, so now I'm the proud owner of a 1979 Tartan Ten.
Hi David
The boat is close to being sold so you can mark it as sold.
Thanks
