Hi all!

I've got a trailerable daysailer thats been through a bad storm (I'm
guessing - missing chainplates, deck buckeled where they were pulled out).

Manufacturer's name: PARSON
Year built: 1973
Original register owner: Robert Miller of Florida 1975

All this information is from my title.

This is my first fixer-upper, and I'm kind of lost on how to find rigging
materials etc., to get this boat sailable.

I'm going to have to patch the keel, replaced the transom backing board,
make new seat/hatches, create a cabin interior, etc.

What I'm most interested in is my standing rigging. Are the chainplates for
trailerables different from other sailboats? The mast is removed/installed
more often than in other types. Also, any cheaper chandeleries than West
Marine?

I live in SW Georgia, and there are no local chandaleries for sailboats. I'm
going to have to travel to get parts.

Any pointers on a restoration would be very much appreciated. I've bought
and read Bruce Roberts 'Metal Boats' as a starting point.

Thanks in advance.

Paul
