Ye Olde #37 Gone

Sigh....
Big storm just went thru here in North Carolina, took down two oak trees on my property. Among other damages, one hit my old girl, DaySailer #37, she's done. What a year of change for us - gained a new job (big promotion, whoo-hoo), wife got a work promotion, dear friends got married, son bought his first house... all good. Lost my sweetest dog in April, and now old #37. At least no-one got hurt! And that mast-work I've been putting off? Now put off to infinity! Sometimes it pays to procrastinate .
I'll post photos when I have a chance, in meantime I'll be parting this old girl out. One-year-old sails, another older set, rudder, centerboard, complete spinnaker kit, who needed a jib track? Hope I can make some forum members happy. We shall see what all survived after we get the tree off the boat.
