Have that part for the P-16 striker band. Pete

Doesn't make any sense. The Quattro 5M is almost exactly the same as a Prindle 16 (which doesn't use boards). Both 16', Quattro 297 #, P-16 300#, Qu...

I sail a strip wood Tornado & played a dirty trick on my neighbor who has a Corsair 24' tri. Gave him my other woodie to sail for the summer (in exch...
