The boat yard has been breaking up some derelict boats lately. Not derelict but unloved for 12 years is a 23 foot Ensign class sloop. One of the guys said Team Mom-Norm (that's us) should buy it and the text went out. A little while later, last Sunday, Team Mom-Norm met Z and his dad at the boat, cut off the shrink wrap and took a look. Yup... I think we need another boat.
The sails are in good condition. There is an old Hard spinnaker from the mid 70s, maybe 1977 when the boat was new. It is lightly used. The mainsail has two reefs and looks old but not original. The #3 is a newer UK and the #1 is of unknown manufacture and looks good. Both headsails are configured for Harken roller furling.
So far, so good.
