I know how that goes. I did a partial restoration to an L16, getting rid of all rot, then my crew agreed to finish the job. When finished (mainly installing a new deck) he and the boat would join our fleet as another boat actively racing. He kept the boat outside, not covered and didn't finish the restoration. Now the boat is mine again, but in really bad shape. Sigh....<br><br>I guess the first question is what would East Passage charge to finish the restoration? Is it okay for me to go ahead and circulate your project around the Chicago Fleet right away? If there are no takers, then I'll give you contact info for the Maine. Well, I don't mean for this to be contingent on no one in Chicago taking on the project. If you'd like to contact Maine now, I'll give the info for that right away. Or soon, I'm on vacation right now, and am not sure I have all that contact info at my fingertips - but I'd be happy to look!<br><br>Best,<br>Bill<br></span><br><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>On 5/23/13 9:40 AM, Chuck Furciniti wrote:</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Hello Bill,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>This is Chuck from New Hampshire. It’s probably been a couple of years since we have emailed – I think I had sent you a scanned set of plans that were slightly different that the ones on your web site. As you may recall, we were in the process of restoring an L16 that we had rescued from someone’s backyard in Manchester, MA. We have made quite a bit of progress over the past couple of years, but unfortunately during that time my co-owner went through a divorce and most of (read all of) the expense of the restoration has been on me. The purpose of this email is to update you on the status of the boat and to inquire if either the Chicago fleet or the two fleets in Maine (if you knew how to get in touch with them) would be interested in taking over the project to either finish and add another boat to your fleet, or (less desirably) to not finish and use for piece parts.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>The Boat</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Built: c. 1945, Original 3-light cabin top model w/ sliding hatch</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Hull Number: 569</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Sail Number: 32</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Name: Alert<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>History: New Jersey (1940’s-1950’s ?), Manchester MA (1960’s – 2010)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Spars: Original Sitka Spruce (mast, boom & spinnaker pole)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Sails: 3 sets (including original blue canvas (?)) </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Equipment: Original pipe berths, starboard-side motor mount & cockpit benches & sole. 2 tillers.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=p1><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Trailer: Appears to be custom-built, I-beam construction.
