F&W sails

Post by edova1 »

Just came across this F&W Star 12 8’. Missing some sails but pretty much all there. If anyone has some used ones they are willing to part with that would be great. Located in southern CA.

Looks familiar. I restored one back in the early 2000's. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

There's a couple guys on the forum i believe from Canada that restored model 12s. Maybe they will see this. I have a complete wheel but won't separate it, good luck and keep us posted.

Thats me. Just finished one. Dont have any extra sails tho as i found a complete wheel. Do you have the rudder hinges? I have an extra bottom one. Dont hesitate to ask questions i learned a lot about the star 12. Or just look thru my journey its here.

I thought I posted this before, I do have an extra wheel (bands were torched instead of unbolted). But ... I am in Michigan. Also have some other parts (no tail hinge casting though). Dan Benjamin had recast tail castings.
Thanks,
Ed
