There is a similar boat to your description, but it's a 27 come to think. It's in Birmingham AL. Tom Shannon, who monitors this list, knows the owner.

That, and the Granger family, who modified my Fboat, are now working on a S27. They're doing ten kinds of mods to it. Contact the Grangers vis www.tcdyc.com and see if they can offer you suggestions.

Hell, a stock S23 is a sweet ride stock (with updated sails). Have you thought about getting in touch with Ron Nicol over there in Florida?

good luck with it,
