My old v22.2

[Ixneigh]

Looks like my old boat may be on the verge of being abandoned or coujd be had for a few hundred at most.
On the last assessment:
All 3 masts are present and intact. Sails are fair to poor. Keel is good but needs fairing and some glassworks due to grounding. Does not need to be removed. Inside is a mess but salvageable. It no longer has the stock venture interior.
Lower rudder blade is gone. Fairly easily to make that. Hull and deck need to be repainted due to unfinished mural art.
Area where the boat impacted rocks could use few more passes of glass but there are no leaks and I did a pretty good job on it. The wiring needs to be replaced but that's no biggie. The upper hull and deck are good with no dock dents, or mashed fiberglass.
This boat was very cute with the three masts. I had a lot of fun on it. The sails were painted so I did not have to cover them. I could get the boat underway in five minutes. It was actually easier to sail the boat then to start the motor. The main can be easily replaced with any sail that has the correct foot. The upper part of the sail is cut off at the needed luff length and then the upper sprit is bolted in place. (The cloth is rolled twice and the two halves of the Sprit sandwich it)
All needed deck hardware is present. Boat is sailable except for the missing rudder blade. I might be convinced to donate one of my old factory M rudder blades to the cause. Although a new idarudder setup woukd be the best. The boat can be seen on YouTube I think it's still up. Search for "unicorn lugrig"
Boat has no trailer also.

Man, what a rude reply. Till - I looked at the video. Yeah. Have to agree. Yuck.

thats what lots of people say about the macs in general.
It was a nice little cruiser designed to sail down wind easily since I motor up wind. I love the rig and use it frequently on dinghies. The fiberglass and foam doghouse strengthened the boat a lot. Plus nearly standing headroom. No standing rigging and sails easily replaced cheap. With the jib and little mizzen shed sail ok in 40 knots of wind.
This was not designed to be a deep water boat, but a Bahamas bomber.

As they say Ix, one man's trash is another man's treasure... There's a sailor out there somewhere that would be excited to have her. Finding that sailor is the trick. She looks pretty good in the video compared to some of the stuff I've been afloat in. I'm glad to have my M, but there was a time, several years ago, when I might have been tempted by a boat I could get for a hundred or so... Did buy a "some assembly required" jet ski for around $300 once. Would have probably enjoyed the sailboat a lot more.

SUGGESTION!! Find a local Sea Scout or Sea Explorer troop in your area. They will usually take any boat and make a restoration project. You would be doing a good thing a maybe get a charitable tax deduction. Just sayin'. Fair Winds and Full Sails...Old Salt. P.S. can't see where to view video?
