[Public-list] 1961 25' Whitby

[victoria youngaitis]

Hi!  The boat's on the N. shore of L.I., New York.  I'm told there are masts 
available.  I'm estimating the length should be about 35 ft.  I've been 
considering hooking-up an outboard, but so far, I've been pushing her around 
with a dinghy.
Thanks for your assistance,
Vicky
