E scow sailboat - Fast & exciting to sail
1975 Johnson Boat Works E scow
Description
This is a solid boat that's an absolute thrill to sail. I've sailed her on Lake of the Ozarks and other area lakes, some racing, sometimes just for fun. I wrote a poem about her:
Here's a boat that's built to float and sail with best of them,but she'ws left to rot in a dirty old lot never to sail again.She's a Craigslist find and just in time, about to be sold for scrap,now she's back the race, takin her place and lovin that down wind lap.She's fast and she's loose, with floorboards of spruce, and she'll dump you just for spite,she's a rough old girl, tough as burl, ready and spoilin to fight.But don't get me wrong, she can sing a song with the wind through her sails and stays,she'll rise up on plane on a reach just the same as she did in her younger days.Just treat her with love as from God up above, she's gift, a challenge a thrill,if you leave it to me we'll be sailing free and never come home until,the wind blows no more and I'm tired to the core, and yet I'll be lovin her still.

She is in Jefferson City, MO, rigged and ready to sail if you want to try her out. Not much else to say. Email if you have questions.
