Info on Status 580 Can anybody help?
I am wondering if anybody can answer some questions I have about the status 580. I am looking at purchasing Sail #65 as a school training boat. Can anybody comment on roughly the age/year of construction of the boat? Is there any distinguishing features that prove it is an RL boat rather than by another builder? Is it usual for the centre board pivot bolt to leak? The owner mentioned that he has never had anymore than a litre of water come in from here. I realise it is unusual to have a 'dry' boat. There are a few hard bumps/bubbles about the size of a one cent piece in the hull above the waterline. The bubbles don't 'give' when pressure is put upon them. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks Geoff
