Boat Restoration Story (with pix in photo gallery)

You know I'm not 100% sure what the hull number is. The only identification for the boat is a little plate that is mounted in the cuddy cabin. There are two numbers listed there the first being 19706 the second being 3606. Being that it's a 1970 I assume the first represents that mine is the 6th boat manufactured for the model year and the second is labeled as it's "class". Another interesting factoid is that the sails are original and do not have a number like it seems others do. Quite strange, of course this boat pre-dates having a HIN stamped into the transom. I have the original sales slip for the boat from 1970 as well, but that does not provide any additional data.

I agree; she's probably No. 3606. Once again, good on you for bringing her back into shape, and I hope you have lots of fun with her! I still miss mine sometimes, but I'm getting too old for hiking out!
