Classic Racing Plastic
I saw this cool classic racing sailboat this last weekend, maybe 32' but a beam of maybe 6'. with so little beam she must have been a racer, right? Anyone know what she is?

Love these boats. Had one near me 15+ years ago that in maybe 5 years I saw sail only 2 or 3 times. I had a serious line on one maybe 17 years ago but my now wife could refer to it only as "that needle boat." Not much headroom, wet, etc. I decided to go for something a little more use friendly. Still though, they are some pretty!

I had the same idea of turning and Ericson Scorpion into a nice day sailor and weekender. I even went and looked at one and sailed it. The one I sailed didn't impress me much. It seems like Columbia and Ericson lost the Racer heritage during their conversion. A pity though as the hull is beautiful. Although a pair of uglier cabin tops I can't imagine.

Columbia Sabre "Wild Swan"
Here's a link to photos of my Sabre "Wild Swan" She's a 1965 model. No Eyebrows, and aluminum toe rails. Very sleek, gets alot of attention when we're sailing. I have her docked in Deltaville, Va. , and she's for sale. All reasonalble offers considered.

Seabea is not for sale, but I have an extra Sabre that Tim
Can have for a daysailer project. It's fully gutted, with only the bow bulkhead still in place. I hauled it from Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, to Richmond,Va in the dead of winter, in the snow, across at least two mountain ranges, so I know it's transportable as is....
Free to the first responder with a trailer, and I'll even help load her.
