Ouch..... I think on
that boat I would tell you to hunt down another one.? Your going to spend
$4k getting it back to being a sailboat, even conservatively.? You might
find a mast for about $200.? But the boom, hardware, running rigging (lines
to work sails), standing rigging are gonna put you back $1500 even if you
cheapskate it.? Then you are looking at another $1000 for sails if you buy
them used.
?
The rigging is
simple and straightforward, but I'm betting you don't have chainplates
either.
?
Sad sad sad.?
There should be a brass plate on the hatch you slide back to go in the
boat.? It will tell you what hull # you have.? I have #71 which is
1964 as well.? I posted a link earlier on a boat on Long Island for
$4K.
?
If you decide you
have money to burn and want to restore this boat...... plan to spend $5 to
$7K.? I (or another member) could measure things for you as you go.?
Although, frankly, you could pay Tartan $70 for a copy of hte plans and then
rebuild from there.? There are some things I don't like and would do
differently, but that mainly involves making the head bigger so it could have a
shower.? I also took the floor out of my v-berth and installed a Marine AC
unit there.? Makes my boat much more tolerable when it gets hot down here
in Houston.
?

?
As for the other new
member.? The lazarette is sort of a bottomless pit.? Although it is
nice for certain things.? :)
