I would like to see pictures of a restored one. The sail rig is kind of a gaff rig you pull up tight to the mast. Haven't sent it up yet need to buy some line. The main sheet cleet is right where you sit to row the boat I am thinking about buying a cleet to hange from the mid section of the boom and have the pulley purchases at the end of the boom. I wonder how that would work? Dave what size oars did you have for your minto? my boat came with some metal and plastic oars that are ugly Bill On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 12:22 PM, W David Scobie <wdscobie@yahoo.com> wrote:
20+ years ago i sailed and rowed MANY miles in a minto.
the minto (aka, rich passage minto and/or kent ranger minto) is about the same size and similar external look (different seating setups). a minto in good condition with NO sailing rigging will for for $1000-$1500 (reguardless of age). the sailing package adds another $500+.
knowing jerry and his 'need for speed' i have no doubt the M10 is a great sailer ... and if a boat sails well it is likely to row well (the minto is a GREAT rowboat, tender, and sailer which is why it commands such a high price).
there is a M10 near me here in kent, WA ... Jon Freeman is restoring one he found in 'rough condition'. i'm hoping he will allow viewing when he has finished the project.
