This is what my first boat, a Prindle 16, looked like when I found it in a storage yard. It had not been registered in 9 years. The sails in the tube looked like new! With a new tramp, stays, and lines it was good as new and served me well for many races.
At least this one has been stored out of the sun. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
