Save your money Engineer. The $800 could be put to better use. This boat is between 35 and 40 years old and bears no relationship to anything Boyer/Goodall produced. The canoe sterns and 5308 section mast give it away as a relic from the 70's. Even if you could get it sailing it would give you no clue as to the true beauty of a modern A Class.

Only sail a modern A if you can afford to buy one because otherwise you'll spend the rest of your life wanting one!!!
