Hello again
Well here is some of the information that you wanted
It was designed by Ralph E. Winslow of Atlantic (Quincey) Massachusetts, USA. Its name is LANAKAI documentation number: 510938. The last known owner was Mr. Robert E. Thomas of Morehead City, NC. The last survey (report number: #87102) was done on May 29, 1987, by Robert M. Chiles. It stated the vessel is intended for pleasure use in the rivers, bays, sounds and near coastal waters of the US Atlantic Coast. The engine that is in the boat is a Westerbeke/Perkins Model 4-107, four cylinder, normally aspirated diesel rated at 37 hp and fitted with fresh water cooling (Don't know of actual condition of the motor since it has been sitting for so long). The weight of the boat is 12 tons. The beam about is 11 feet exactly and the sail area is 819 square feet twin masted. The schooner rig consists of spruce spars, stainless steel wire rope standing rigging and bronze turnbuckles at the chain plates. One halyard winch and two sheet winches. The bow sprits are there and as you can see the boat is mostly complete. I have the bill of sale from when I bought the boat and the bill of sale from that owner bought the boat. Hopefully all of this answers your questions, but if you wanted to see the copies of the Ralph E. Winslow typed design and copy of the survey from 1987. I contacted Berger Boats for the original design of the boat but they did not have them due to a fire.
As for the condition of the boat, the interior is gutted, but the engine is still in place. The decking from the front of the boat was removed in order to gut out the inside. But, the boat is mostly complete to the best of my knowledge; the sails, rigging, engine, etc. are still there. The boat was transported to my house and has been sitting uncovered since 1995. I would think that it would still be transportable but have to be checked by the transport company for stability. The people that I had transport the boat to my house 8 years ago was Great Lakes Marine Services (Phone number: 262-375-3003) out of Grafton, WI. At that time, it cost $500 for around 75 miles. But you would have to check on rates.
As for the numerous questions of why I am selling this boat, I don't have the knowledge, space, money, or the time that she deserves. Would consider trade of collector or sport cars if any one is interested in going that route. Thank you so much for your time and your interest. If I were to sell the boat, I am asking $1500 OBO for everything you see (including the sails) also the stands. Or I would be willing to donate it if it would be tax deducible. Even if you are not interested, hold on to my number for the future at night 262-285-3033 or from 8-5 central time at 920-458-3642. Just want to remind all interested, the boat is very rough shaped, she will need ALOT of love to get her seaworthy again!!
Thanks Again,
Shaun
