New DSII Sailor to the group
Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2019 2:23 pmAfternoon all! I just rejoined this great organization for the second time. A number of years ago I was a member of Fleet 116 out of Maine and had a very nice DS1 sail number 4499. Race prepared and had loads of fun sailing all summer for many years. My wife and i retired and moved to the sunny south. Long story short, could not take the heat and moved back to New Hampshire to settle on a beautiful lake. Yesterday I purchased a 1980 DSII that had been sitting in a barn very close to salt water. It has a very nice hull and today rejoined the DaySailer Club. I wish I had never sold my DS1 but that's history. Today begins the task of getting this DSII ready for sailing on the lake. All I need to do is find a new mast to replace the unsafe old corroded one. Remove the oxidation and replace salt corroded fittings. It's nice to be back!
