I bought this boat from the Indianapolis Sailing Club in November of 2024. I’ve enjoyed sailing it, but I just bought another boat that’s more my style and so I need to let this one go. This boat came with two main sails, both with Highlander class royalty patches, but (unknown to me), no jib. The mains are not pretty, with stains and holes, but they have worked fine for my non-racing day-sailing purposes. One of the mains has reef points and I’ve used them quite satisfactorily. That sail has a number different than the hull. The jib is in very good condition, but it came off a Lightning. The dimensions are about the same as a Highlander jib but slightly smaller. The boat has an older Sailor’s Tailor skirted trailing/mooring cover that still does a good job of keeping the boat clean and I bought just this year a really nice cockpit cover from Sailor’s Tailor. Trailer seems good but I’ve only used it to get the boat to the Club ramp. I put a new telescoping hiking stick on her and added external halyards and a topping lift on her.

LOA = 20’, Beam = 6’ 8", Draft (board up) = 8", Draft (board down) = 5’ 7", Displacement = 800#. SA = 169’ in the main and 59’ in the jib.
