Up for sale is my 16' Prindle.
The main sale is multi colored and in very good shape considering this is not a new boat, the jib is solid Yellow.
The Boats pontoons are in very good shape with no soft spots.
The Trailer is Aluminum and also in good shape and has bearing buddies installed.
I have not sailed in years but have sailed extensively on both this prindle and other sailboats.
The 16 Prindle handles the heavy wind far better than a hobie and very importantly can be self righted when/if you flip it by just one person. This point can not be overstated you dont want to be stranded in the middle of the lake because you are sailing an 18'
It will take a weekend to clean up and to do the intisl setup.
On a prindle each rudder is raised and lowered manually and independantly of the other by two different lines, for a total of four four foot lines. These lines are about three to four feet long each. These lines are available at lowes or home depot in the rope section and cost a total under $10.00.
It is easy with just a coat hanger to re-line your rudders in about 20 minutes and is part of good maitenance to do on who evers prindle you adopt.
Besides this just a good overall cleaning and waxing much like you would your car.
The trailer has Michigan plates but the tabs are expired.
I contacted secretary of state today and was told that boats under 20' in Michigan do not have title but just a bill of sale, please feel free to confirm this independantly with the Michigan Secretary of State office.
All the other ropes and block along with the main and jib sails and the boom, Mast and cables, have been stored inside and are in excellent condition.
I am no longer including the trampoline so you will have to buy a new one.
This is good because new trampolines are so much better than the original trampolines that came with these boats.
The reason is you tend to slide across these tramps very often as you move from port to starboard under the boom and vice versa and nothing is worse than the original trampoline for this or a modern trampoline with burs/small inperfections.
You also want a trampoline that will be smooth to slide across without any obstacles in the mat ie Straps, Gromets, Rope and in my opinion rope pockets.
