LITTLE BEAR

CAN THIS BOAT BE SAVED?

This is a "Little Bear" sailboat built by Sailstar Boats (USA) circa 196o

It was designed by Robert H. Baker. 11.50' Centerboard Dinghy with Fractional Sloop rigging. This little boat has seen better days when the family was first learning to sail. She has spent the last several years on a trailor in the woods. Lets see how it looks after a power wash.
