My brother asked me to find a new home for his Comet Class Sailboat. I think it was made during the war (1942-43) It's all cedar and needs to be restored. We have the sails but they are VERY VERY old and I wouldn't use them. We have the mast-rudder and centerboards for the boat.

The Boat is HEAVY and there we don't have a trailer for it. We can help you load it we just want it someone to get it out of our yard in Bensalem PA 19020

Free to a good home.

I have a 1937 Thompson SeaGull sailboat that is in dire need of restoration. She's on the "to do" list! Andreas Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

But over the years it has had a lot of miles under her. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
