They didn't say if she was a runner or not. If so, it looked usable anyway to me. Could be one of those works in progress ?

My husband and I just bought this project! Very excited and overwhelmed! My husband restored a 27' Hunter sailboat a number of years ago......but we're old now!! Nothing has been done to it....still no floor, bulkheads are out. We're going to have roughly a million questions, so if there are any kind and knowledgeable people out there, we'll be posting!! We'll post photos later. Does anyone know of a Farallon locally that we could take a look at? Thank, Laurie & Grizz.Life begins at a shoreline.

Chuck had help with the hard stuff I did not submit all the detailed photos on that resto and should have some of those to share.
To answer your question, Yes, you have help here.

Hi Helmar,
Thanks so much! We'll be trying to do this ourselves, so it may not be as pretty as Chuck's boat!
Any photos you have of the restoration would really be appreciated. I've downloaded some of them from this site. At the moment we're sort of sitting staring at the boat, but when we get our brains back we'll be on here constantly torturing anyone who will listen with questions! My husband's goal is to get it into the water and running (not finished) by next summer.Life begins at a shoreline.
