wonderful little sailing rowing dinghy. Fatty knees are well loved as the best, most seaworthy sailing and rowing dinghys. Great as a fun sailboat on a lake, or on the columbia river, or for learning to sail, or as a tender for a boat. Comes with a nice set of oars, oar locks, sail rig, two sails, rudder, centerboard, everything you need to sail it or row it. These normally sell used in the mid $1000's, but this one is priced at $1200 due to a repair that was done on the gunwhale on one side. the affects are just cosmetic, no functional or structural affect. has custom made rope trim that provides bump protection. price is firm. it's located in the columbia river gorge area. i do head up past seattle and belligham about once or twice a month. more info about these boats can be found here...

I would like to see some closer pictures of the repair and the rub rail.

Hi,
sorry for the late response. I've been out on the ocean teaching.

here are some photos. The repair is on the starboard rail in two spots. the previous owner had squished the dinghy between his boat and something else, which cracked the teak rail in two places. No damage to the fiberglass hull though. He then reinforced the teak rails by adding teak over it, gluing it and bolting it onto the rails. the photos show the two spots, and I also took overall photos of the boat and the bottom. the bottom has boat bottom paint on it, to handle being left in the water, but it is coming off in some spots. i wanted you to have a photo showing that. everything else is in great condition. let me know if you would like to proceed. cheers
