I bought mine in February this year. It is a 1983. I have had to replace several items (see other post) and will probably give it a new gelcoat after this summer. Have you looked at the sailingtexas.com site? Look in the gallery and you will see several good examples of the boat. I have sailed in winds ranging from 10 to 30+. The boat is light and pretty fast. The swing keel is good but thin as is the rudder so you can't leave the tiller for more than a minute or two without heading into the wind. If you have any specific questions just let me know. I've been researching for 4 months now and keep finding good sites. It is a fun boat. Where will you be sailing? Glad to have your comment and interest. I bought mine in February this year.

I have lived aboard a 37 ft fixed keel new york sloop in the north west ( Man do I miss the sound !! ) for about 2 years . Relocated here and friends and family are landlubbers! Just wanted to know if you would be willing to share any info as I am doing research on vessel specs and how think were on the boat before all the distress and miss treatment she has subjected over the years.

But thanks for the suggestion. I am thinking about adding a steel reinforcement under the wood for support. I have not replaced it yet. But thanks for the suggestion.

You can use epoxy to seal the wood so that it will last longer this time. I’m sure you have your prettier piece of wood by now.
