Looking to locate a boat that was owned and sailed by my dad un the 1980's. It was a Lindahl 18sq meter, sail number 174. I believe it was originally sold to someone in the Detroit area. Figured posting it here was worth a shot.

Good luck with the search, that would be cool to find your dad's boat. What hulls did the Lindahl 18 Squares use?

They were built by John, honeycomb core with a thin ply epoxy coated on the skin

John Lindahl was an outlier in early 70's CRAM days. Sailing his homebuilt A cat, pointing 15 degrees higher than Hobies & Prindles. We just ignored him, hell we had class racing, big classes & growing and he was alone occasionally accompanied by Dave Ward. Little did we know! Pete
