C-69

[carl291]

Here's a couple of photos of C-69 I just purchased. Is this vessel in the registry? Took me a minute to "get the name" . Comes less mast, but it does have all the inherent problems of these boats Must have been an old racer, the interior has been gutted. Hails from Racine WI. I'll drag her home next month.

[Bill]

She's new to the registry. You've saved another one! Please keep us informed on your progress and let me know when she gets her new state reg number.

[carl291]

Thanks Bill, Will do on your request. Maybe a Great Lakes member may know this boat.
interior shot : pretty spartan

Playing around....

Namaste

You can hear us all raising our voices
smiling a lot, clapping hands and stomping the deck.
Congratulations!
(hope the deck is stompable!)

"Stompable " deck??? surely you jest!!..... How about this NICELY done repair to the keel??? Looks like it ran into the state of WI!!!!

[Rico]

What a pretty boat!
Very nice!

Gutted interior???
-Looks like a pretty standard Commander interior to me! (These were (are) daysailors, not cruisers like the Ariel.)
(The fact that I do an occasional 'cruise' in my Commander does not mean it has all the homey conveniences!!)

[carl291]

Hello Rico, Thanks, I was hoping for cushions and maybe the galley. Sure would like to poke around and find the mast. It comes with the boom, a wooden spinnaker pole, inflatable liferaft and sails, I'll see what kind of shape that's all in.

Carl,
What are your plans for her?
I have a customer looking for a Commander.
Mike
C227

[carl291]

Well Mike, he may already have it! (LOL) I sent the check out this morning for the boat after the deal was completed and on the way home got a phone call that someone offered double what I paid and politely told me he was backing out of the deal. My plan was to keep it from going to the scrap heap. Hopefully that won't happen. Good Luck

[Bill]

Carl, ask the owner to inform the new owner about the ACYA Web page, etc.

[carl291]

I sure will we're suppose to speak when he gets my check early next week.

[carl291]

Just curious if this boat has turned up any where, I hate to think I lost out and it went to the scrap man. How can you own one of these boats and not know about this great site and it's members ?

Nomoda probably was Yoda's daughter. Right?
Sorry she's nomo!
