By coincidence my name is also Glenn and I have recently come into posession of a Sailstar 17. It is Hull # 648 and it is mostly disassembled.
I may have a few Q's myself before this is over.
Structurally the boat appears to be sound. Almost all the hardware has been removed and begun to be prepared for paint or finish. It was a project abandoned.
No sails came with it so that of coarse will be searched for at soon.
Do DS sails fit? The boats appear very similar. I have not seen one first hand yet. I laid the hardware out today and the basic rigging seems to be apparent. I will definitly be glad to view some examples.
Glenn, l live in the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia.
The more I look at the boat , I believe I will go ahead with the project. I have not sailed one of these, have you?
Is yours in good shape? Is it an Explorer?
Any info you have will be appreciated and I will share what I find with you. Sincerely , Glenn Bryant
