so I checked out the boat yesterday, the guy sailed it for a season back in the 1970's and since then it has been stored disassembled in his basement. The boat is absolutely mint, with no deck or hull flex whatsoever. While it's over 30 years old it's in nicer shape than most 1990's cats that I've seen. The spars and beams are all in like-new condition, with no corrosion or fatiguing, also, the dolphin striker is completely rust free. The only thing the boat might need is a new set of sails.

As to the builder, the guy doesen't know exactly, but the boat was built in 1973-1974 and it says "US-326" on the back.
