I'm trying to figure how old it is, I see from the https://daysailer.org/Hull-Index hull index page that it's somewhere between 1957-1972. Any way to tell the age more specifically?
Noteworthy features are:
- sail number 1283
- it has a mastjack, no turnbuckles on the stays
- no quick release for the jib sheet (just a figure-8 cleat on the centerboard house)
- all sheave pulleys and the mainsheet swivel cam cleat made of an odd woven plastic material that looks like wood at first glance, prior owner called it "compressed nylon"
- jib sheet is rigged to go from the jib fairlead into the cockpit through a hole in the wood spray-shield (what is the proper name for this part?) lined with brass grommet.
Does any of this tell the age? Any other telltales I should look for to age the boat?
