Mid 70's, swing keel trailer sailer. Predominantly sailed on Waranga Basin in central Vic, with a couple of trips from Port Welshpool to Refuge Cove. Safe, comfortable boat, used to teach my 3 young boys to sail.
2x mainsails, 1x jib, 1x storm jib, 1x symmetrical spinnaker. 1x genoa with torn luff rope (lowest hank snagged on the forestay fitting and I ground too hard on the winch when raising the sail).
5 berths, 2 burner metho stove, new Porta-Potti and VHF.
Ever reliable 8HP Mariner outboard.
Mackay twin axle trailer.
