I'm going to look at one of these for sale today. Looks like a very forgiving boat for a beginning sailor like me. My gf and i are very excited at the idea of being able to do overnights on it in the little cuddy cabin.
It is very forgiving, and once sailing down wind, when I went to tack and go back up wind a gust hit me in the middle of the tack, I let the boom all the way out, the boat took in water over the sides, but didn’t turn over, I read where someone had one as a teenager and tried to flip it but couldn’t, if your near middle TN this one is going up for sale as I’ve already bought a bigger boat, everything on it is new except the sails, good luck
@@Huntgary I am not anywhere near TN but the last one I looked at was ready for the dump not the water (stringers were mush). I read the same story, happy to hear it twice! How much are you asking?
Your boat looks to be in excellent condition. Did you restore it yourself? I would love to see photos of the outside. I just bought one, but it needs a ton of work. Not alot online out their about these boats. I'd appreciate any info you could provide. Thanks.
The previous owner rebuilt it, then got sick and it sat for several yrs, his wife had to sell it after he came down with dementia, everything is new except mast and sails, when I got it nothing was on it, so I had to figure everything out, shoot me your email and I’ll send ya some pics and if you need close ups of anything let me know good luck
Seeing this makes me so happy!!! Thank you!!!

I can't tell from this angle but is this boat connected to the design of George McVay called a 16ft. Falcon? ( Built out of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia)?
Not sure, it was manufactured by the American Fiberglass Corp., model is America 16, the designer is just listed as the co.
