For all those masochists out there, I've got one for you. This is the boat that was next to HIGHLAND LIGHT when I was after that one. Free to a good home.

Details:

1928 - 73' Staysail schooner, Marconi Rigged, 61' on deck. Edson B. Schock design. Built at Chalker & Whiting in Long Beach

Won Transpac in 1934: MANUIWA Harold Dillingham 13:12:30:51 12:09:29:56 1 A-1

Ex. HIGHLANDER, now MANUIWA. Her picture is on the wall in the LA Yacht Club with Al Christie, her original owner.

Call Henry, her owner at
1-310-710-1497. She is currently in a slip for $560 bucks a month, and he needs out now!

I was aboard her when looking at HIGHLAND LIGHT. She is hurting, but is a far nicer design than HIGLAND LIGHT. She has many neat fittings and bronze bits. Serious restoration required.

A boat with that history would make it a great restoration project. What kind of wood is she made of? Is there a survey?
