During a mid August wind storm, Highlander #876 also known as the Blind Hog sustained significant hull damage in her port, rear quarter where the top port side of the boat meets the transom and the deck. On that corner the side has pulled away slightly from the deck and the transom. Also during the storm the trailer tongue was damaged as the tongue was knocked slightly off center. The trailer is ‘usable’ as I towed it with the boat on it, to two locations for various repair estimates. The mast has a slight crease in it, but I would consider it unsafe for use and it should be replaced. I have decided to sell the boat, mast, and trailer (as is) and all of the normal equipment that goes with a fully rigged racing Highlander. Below is a list of the items that will be included. Upon request I can send some digital pictures to show some indication of the extent of the damage. I am asking $1,750 or best offer for the entire package. The boat can be seen at the Louisville Sailing Club. It’ll be on display at the Oct 6/7 Bluegrass Regatta if you might be attending that event, or if not, you might have someone who is coming look over the boat for you if you cannot attend. The equipment includes: Damaged. Hull (as is.) Aft, port side at top is separated from deck at transom. Trailer, Tee Nee (as is.) (Is structurally sound and trailerable now. Local repair estimate - $380) Travel cover: Bobb’s Bags (Perakis) (as is.) (local estimated patch cost: $90) Mast. (as is.) (has spinnaker halyard and main and jib halyards & topping lift lines attached.) Below: All in good condition. Boom Sails: Main, jib, and spinnaker. (North sails; guessing: 5 year-old Plastimo Compass, 5 3/8” red card. (with mount.) Bobb’s Bag (Pearakis) bottom cover. Excellent condition. Main and jib sheets and all normal “race” rigging is in boat. (Harken fittings, race rigged.) Spinnaker pole. Lifting bridle. Tube type Tiller w extension. Rudder. Bobb’s Bags Rudder cover Light bar.
