North sails in excellent condition, mainsail cover, roller jib, awning, anchor and more.  The boat weighs only 2,000 lbs. so is easily trailer-able.  It’s 1’ draft and leeboards make it ideal for exploring shallow creeks, etc.
For open water work it would be simple to hang a Cal 20, or similar fin keel on it.
