Default $300/22' sailboat & trailer .... roadside Holderness

A 1981 O'Day 22' sailboat and galvanized steel, custom trailer is priced with a hardware store, orange & black sign taped to the hull "For Sale $300, 603 968-7336."

Located in Holderness, along side Route 25, in front of Squam Lakes Assoc building ...... driving past yesterday ..... just had to make a u-turn, go back and check it all out.

Believe this very same sailboat was in the same exact spot. 'bout three years ago with a sale price for $3000, and now it is priced at $300.

Fiberglass hull with a cuddy cabin, all white with faded blue accent lines, 22' length, 7'2" wide, draft 23", 1800-lbs weight, sail area 196 sq ft ..... has a mostly flat bottom with a stubby short, permanent keel that extends down about 14" and assume is weighted heavy ..... it is a permanent keel that is designed into the fiberglass hull and is not a retractable centerboard

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbG4F1GrmOc .... is similar to this 1976 O'Day 22.

Looks to be more of a de-mold, clean and wax, teak oil restoration than a repair type of a fix .... everything is all factory original including the very good, sailboat trailer ..... sails-no clue ...... assume it needs all new sails and a 15-hp sail outboard?

"...... Squamie to self ...... let's just loose that old boat ..... it's ain't new & shiny ..... no more! ..... and besides, it's too big for Squam ..... that old boat belongs on Lake Winnipesaukee."
