1916.0. "K-Class wooden sloop info?" by CIVIC::COUTURE (Gary Couture - NH Sales Support) Mon Aug 24 1992 11:23

I have been looking for a small sailbot to play around with on the lakes here
in NH.  I have come across an unusual but very nice looking boat and I was
wondering if anyone has any experience with them.  It is a 1971 "K Class" 
wooden centerboard sloop.  It is about 16+ feet, vary wide and shallow, 
large center board.  Apparently only 320 were built somewhere in the finger
lakes region.  it has a spruce mast.  I'm curious as to how easy this k-class
is to sail (I'm still fairly novice), what its reputation is, how much it is 
WORTH, what to look out for, etc.

thanks
gary
