That is a good idea. Last year while hanging around the yard they asked me if I wanted two keeled sail boats for free as they were taking up space in their boathouse and owners were not to be found. He said...If you want it take it cause it is going to the crusher next week, we need the space. They both needed some serious work and most of the related parts were no place to be found so I passed (and I really don't need to be adding to my current "fleet") But I bet there was a chunk of lead in the keel that could keep me in jigs for a lifetime, and I could burned the hull to keep warm over the winter

.....next time.
