Default Re: Outboard Options for Classic 20

McGillicuddy, it isn't just our SeaCraft that is a Classic! Our keelboat fleet is actually quite a bit older. We have five 30' Shields, which are a motor-less inshore racer/knock-about, basically just a scaled down version of the meter class America's Cup boats. They were made by ChrisCraft. We are Fleet #20, Cal. State Long Beach. It has been a long project, but we have been restoring these sailing classics to their former glory as well.

Shields hull #10 (yes, 10!) with the Seacraft in the background:


OK,OK, I'm going back to school to San Diego State and joining the sailing team. Those are beautiful boats and certainly deserve the refurb efforts.

I don't know about your Conference's boats, but I STRONGLY suspect that your fleet is the most classic of the bunch! I crewed for Ann Boyd, past National Jr. Champ in Y-Flyers. We sailed 505's when I was in school with her.
