Needs.
The bottom needs painting
The LP topside paint could use some repair. It's not that bad.
The main saloon needs new upholstery. We have covers on it. We thought it
would be better to let the buyer choose the fabric and get it done to their
likes. We priced the boat accordingly

The boat was built in 1972 at Minnefords yard in City Island, NY. In 1973 Ted
Turner bought it. The story is, if you can't beat it, buy it! We have a cover
of 1973 Yacht Racing, with Ted at the helm of Lightnin' in some nice wind.
Anyhow, after Ted had it, 2 people owned it before my wife and her x-husband
bought it in 1979. They raced it in the Long Beach and Newport Beach areas for
8 years. Then they had a custom interior put in the boat, and other work for
cruising, and sailed to Hawaii, then back to Portland, Oregon, where she has
been for the last 12 years.

Lightnin' has the safety of an aluminum hull, speed of a racing boat, and the
look and feel of a wood boat below.

Hope this helps, we are moving across country, where my boat is and need to
find Lightnin' a new home.

We are asking $54,000 for her.
