Message body

[quote=lonbordin]I will be taking photos and documenting the process of bringing this one back from the edge.

Fellow Beachcat member Holmeswake's [url=http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l215/954interactive/DSCN3571.jpg]Trac 18[/url] is a lot prettier than mine but hey it was only three hundred bucks so it's not so bad.

It fit my requirements:
Cheap, Lighter than average 349lbs, Pretty quick 67.5 Portsmouth and plenty of hull volume to deal with the big people. Bonus was it's boomless design and all Harken tackle.

The short list to be completed before the first sail:
-Restitch the trampoline seams
-New lines for the entire boat
-Jib is torn and may not be repairable
-Main sheet needs to visit Sailcare for a cleaning
-Get a set of Cat Tracks
-and a little glass work.

I wish [i]The Trac Cat Website[/i] was still online, sigh.
This [url=http://www.canuck.com/~jonathan/trac_16.pdf]Trac Cat 16 pdf[/url] is  a great resource though.

I'll be happy to contribute photo's Damon.  Let me know where to put them.

[b][size=large]THANK YOU[/size][/b] to all that posted I appreciate it!

PS- Been a little busy today but still made some progress.
