Thanks Vinny,
I'll check the rudders and the castings. I'll also pick up some spare pins and shackles. Where do you suggest getting parts from?


Jack,
I hope it actually is a great deal... you know how things bought off ebay can be. I guess the nice thing about picking up your auction item is you can always walk away with the cash still in your hand if the item is not as described. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm really looking forward to picking the boat up and getting on the water. My only concern is the fall winds are slowly starting to pick up, which is not ideal for learning, so I'll have to really pick my days.

Thanks guys! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
