Help!
Making " refurbishing" one or two Soling 50's any suggestions
I have two Soling 50 hulls and decks complete with rudders and keels. Thanks Boater Dave. I am going to try and get them in order for sailing. One has a very Strange odd deck I might cut it off and do a flat. The other is fine. I did a search on the forums. However cannot find any info on the 50's I was told they are a west coast boat. I know a couple things from the amya site. Like mast position. I think that has to be directly in line with the bolt to the keel. Basically I am going to try and make these as close as possible to specs. I have not even looked to see if they have hull numbers that they could be registered or not? If not then I will take leway and do things possibly different. As I usually do. I have a Mish mosh of boats. Due to the love of sailing not racing. I do have a couple that can be raced and one that is a proven time and time again winner in maryland. Other than that. I just have some pretty cool boats I think. Perhaps too many time to thin out. Anyway back to the Solings. Anyone have suggestions on info or what to do with these? Thanks Bill

Think I have an original suit of Soling 50 sails here if you want them. Did a full refit on one of these a few years ago....

The boat had the original mast and standing rigging which we kept. The old main sail had a full length bolt rope which went into the track on the back of the mast. Not something you would want to repeat. The jib had a batten in it that acted like a boom but again, not something you would want to repeat. Good for patterns though.
