new FS owner
Hello all I recently acquired a FS. I have sailed and raced FS many years ago and have always kept my eye open for one. I have not picked up the boat yet and had a question about stowing the mast when towing the boat. My thoughts were to place the mast and boom on a couple life vests and tie them to the boat. BUT I thought I would ask if there was standard way to stow the mast and boom for moving the boat.I picked up hull 1069, from a bit of gazing online I take it this was built in the late 60’s. I am sure there is a hull number with the date in it but have not gotten that far yet. The boat and trailer look very good. The interior floor has been redone; the wet balsa was taken out and replaced. I am bit concerned about the weight looks like a bit of extra glass there. The keel has a ugly patch job I will have to make some decisions on. That covers the first half hour of looking at the boat so I am there will be a few other issues. thanksDwight

In the gallery on the third
In the gallery on the third page is some pictures of mine, you can see the yoke in the back of my boat , and on the front I made my own support to fit inside of the stanchion. another reason to use this over cushions , is the deck is very slippery , and the second reason is getting the mast up over the tow vehicle. My boat is a 64
