Thanks Jerry. I currently own M 7/11 73 and a M12 as well as a Pearson Renegade. Ever since I bought the 7/11 in the 1970's I have wanted a fixed keel 17. Thanks again!

If this helps, there are several in the Salt Lake city area.

If you can find another one (fixed keel) that is for sale/sail, I would be interested. Thanks Fred Waka iti San Francisco Bay

Mark,
I wonder where the other origonal fixed keels are. I have fixed keel
Hull
#14 and I understand there were 20 or so built in 1974. Has anyone seen any of the others?
One modification my Brother made to my boat before I got it was to have a full batten main made with lots of roach. I am interested in the masthead backstay extension you have. Setting the backstay attachment point another 5 inches aft should stop the sail from hitting the backstay. Do you have a picture? My SIL does Stainless fabrication and could make up one for me.
