The keel is the longer, original Herb Stewart designed air-foil shaped keel, which extends three inches below the keel opening and makes her motor extremely well and point a bit better when the keel is down (according to Dr. Judy Blumhorst). It needs a bit of rust de-scaling.
The galvanized trailer is newer than the boat. It was refurbished in 2002 with all parts Re-welded and new carpeting installed. New trailer tires in Jan ’04. (two 2-year-old tires also included.)
The hull is solid, thick fiberglass, and the cabin top is very strong, solid fiberglass (no give at all).
It needs: the keel scraped and painted and a lower hatch-board guide installed. The port-side teak cabin-top grab rail is broken, so there are only two hand-holds instead of four on the port side.
For a rare HMS 18, this boat is in good shape (especially the interior gelcoat); and her hull is solid as a rock. With a bit of sweat equity, you will have a classic boat that will increase in value as the HMS 18 Potter Fleet ages.
She was last sailed on Monterey Bay in December 2003 with WWP regatta before being brought to Texas in January 2004.
I am the 3rd owner.
(Will trade for 1994 (or later) WWP-15 with like-new sails and running lights)
