Free. I believe it is a Lippincott. It is located in St. Louis,
MO. Please read carefully. No mast, no rudder, centerboard is
rusted around hinge pin. I don't think any of the hardware is
salvageable. Quite literally all that is left is the fiberglass
hull and deck. The ribs are all rotten and the seats are missing.
The trailer is not correct for the boat and was taken from a fishing
boat. The trailer is beyond repair. Needs axles, bearings, tires,
bunkboards, and lights.
Please don't blame me, I would never do this to a boat. It was left
at my sister's house. I had hoped to fix it up, but for me a used
lightning would be more cost effective (still looking). E-mail

have an early-model wooden Lightning (#2606) available for
free to an interested sailor/refurbisher who will arrange for pickup
and trailing from the South Bruce Peninsula area near Wiarton,
Ontario Canada.The hull was fiberglass-sheathed some years ago and
the decking repainted. Since then water levels have been so low that
we've not been able to launch/moor her so she and her sails have
been in dry storage.Interested parties should contact 416-346-4540
