IT COMES WITH THE MAST AND SAILS. SAILS ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL RENKEN, BUT ARE THE SAME SIZE AS RENKEN SAILS. I PURCHASED THEM BRAND NEW, MADE OUT OF DACRON, USED THEM ONLY FEW TIMES, AND THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING INSIDE THE BOAT, UNUSED FOR YEARS, SO I CAN NOT GIVE ANY GUARANTEES.
THE CABIN HAS SURPRISING SPACE FOR ITS SIZE, BUT NEEDS TO BE REDONE. THE CARPETS WERE REMOVED, SO IT IS BARE FIBERGLASS NOW, AND NEEDS TO BE UPHOLSTERED. THE HULL IS IN FINE CONDITION, BUT IN NEED OF BOTTOM PAINT, AND THEN READY TO SAIL.
IT IS A FUN AND QUICK BOAT. IT IS EASY TO LAUNCH AND SAIL SINGLEHANDEDLY.
TRAILER HAS TWO BRAND NEW TIRES, AND NEW HUBS WITH OIL (INSTEAD OF GREASE). IT WAS CHANGED MANY YEARS AGO AND WAS NOT USED AT ALL, WHICH MIGHT BE A PROBLEM FOR THE TIRES.
SAILING IS A GREAT ACTIVITY AND CAN PROVIDE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITH MANY HOURS OF ENJOYMENT.
I AM FORCED TO SELL, AS I HAVE NO TIME TO REDO THE BOAT INTERIOR, HAVE NO VEHICLE ABLE TO PULL THE TRAILER WITH BOAT ( ALTHOUGH THE TOTAL WEIGHT IS AROUND 1500 LBS, BUT THE VAN THAT I WAS USING I NO LONGER POSSESS ) AND AS THE FINAL BLOW, I CAN NO LONGER KEEP IT AT MY FRIEND’S LOCATION.
THE REGISTRATION AND ALL THE FEES (BOTH BOAT AND TRAILER) ARE UP TO DATE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST PHOTO.
