Welcome Kevin
If I can be so nosie wlus hat is your sailing experiance?
I started here about 2 yrs ago with my C-22 and found this to be one of the best sailing groups you'll find and the C-22 to be a great boat, I couldn't have got my 1st mate aboard untill I learned here that the C-22 are unsinkable.
I started without alot of parts needed but found the hunt and work plus alot of help from this group made it very enjoyable hope your experiance is the same.

Looking at the pic posted by Trev you have a great starting point. The trailer it's self is the purchase price.

nice boat mainer, i really like the sails. thanks for the pic, its going to be a long winter it will be nice to have a project like the new boat to keep me busy.
my sailing experience is next to none, when i was younger my dad bought this old 10 or 12 foot sailboat that we used for two summers before it was destroyed in a wind storm. so a couple a sails with that is all my sailing experience. so i have a lot to learn, i am confident between this site and some books i have been reading i should be able to figure it out. a friend of mine just bought a 1978 24 ft s2 sailboat so between the two boats we are going to learn together. he has zero sailing knowledge as well but it will be a nice time learning.

apostle islands to isle royale sounds like a great trip, that is a lot of open water. how long would you estimate that trip to be.

Welcome Kevin
Really like the blue hull. can't wait to see pics of it scrubbed and buffed. Looks like she should clean up real well
Best of luck
