New boat

[baseman]

OK, it's not new, but it's new to me. I just picked up a '73 Viking for $50. It came with all new running rigging. Hull is in great shape for it's age, light enough to indicate it doesn't leak. Some people may have thought it strange to see someone hauling a sailboat when it's 37 degrees and raining.
If it stops raining I'll post a picture.

This is the boat.


Only one patch on the hull. There is a crack on the deck, but that should be an easy fix.

nice find! $50 sounds like it was a steal!

I think I got a good deal. The owner handed me a box with some lines and other stuff. when I got it home, I noticed the invoice was still in the box. He spent $127 on new lines, a bridle, a drain plug and a mast base cap.
