I’ve looked at the sources and they are hosted offsite and out of our control.

As to the sailboat work... there are a few of us around. I’m starting on a “new to me” very late ‘70s Helms 24. Feel free to start a thread for your work and we will all chip I. As our knowledge allows.
My already completed 'Lil Bit'. A Martens Goosen V12 set up to sail me to the fishing holes.
Currently working on making a Helms 24 our coastal cruiser.

Thanks, VT_Jeff and Fiz, Sorry to hear about Larry. I bought a 1974 Oday 20 real cheap and plan to begin this spring to completely rebuild. Just interested in pics and ideas of what others have done and how to avoid pitfalls. I have been sailing an Oday Daysailor for several years but my wife and I wanted a bit bigger, drier, and with a berth for overnighting. We do mostly lake sailing and a couple of times a year blue water sailing in the Texas coastal bays.
