656 would be a bit of an unknown simply because of the 20years of storage that the seller has stated....

best bet would be to ask the questions via the eBay message system then get a forum member to have a look for you.

I saved the pics from the add and ran them through my photo program and the thing looks very tidy from the photos I could actually work with. Half if them are just too far out of focus to bring up clearly enough....iPhone pic quality crazy

Contact the seller and ask for pictures to be emailed directly to you, I'd be chasing pics of the sails, boom, rudders, centreboards, none of which have been shown....
once you have those ask for some better general shots wink

eBay wont let you message a email address, but you can get around it by doing this style of thing.....

I assume your mate has had a gander at these.......
