Forgot to say...congratulations!! Hard to imagine 3 hours in such a small boat, about two is the most I can manage comfortably in my 8 ft. El Toro #769. But then I'm 6' 3", maybe you're a bit more compact... :-) And, I can relate to the joy of getting her sailing again after all that effort. I took several years in fits and starts to rehabilitate my old wooden El Toro. It was quite a rush to cast off the dock and feel her catch the wind again for the first time in many years! cheers, John On 8/2/21 5:21 PM, Dave Scobie wrote:
After many unknown years and some hunting for missing parts I have M6'8" hull 650 once again sailing!
Friends Stan Susman, Gary H. Oberbeck, Marty Loken and Jerry Montgomery helped out a lot.
Took a three hour shakedown first sail. No surprise and she sails GREAT!
Thanks to Marty for taking and sharing the attached picture!
