1983 Evelyn 32 IB FR

[KnockedDown]

Listing here: http://www.sailinganarchy.com/classified.htm. Anyone happen to know anything about this boat? She spent time in Ohio and is now in Florida. She's a Formula build and am being led to believe she may be the only one like her. Thanks.

Knocked, here are some shots of her sailing at CRW in 2007. Can't remember how she did. Kind of retro paint scheme.

That must be an aftermarket rig. I am assuming that wasn't an original option. Anybody know where it came from? I could use another few feet on my stick.

Thanks for the pics. The look hasn't been changed. Regarding the rig... I'm told the mast if 4' taller than the MH configuration. Don't know if the boom was lengthened. Maybe someone can tell by looking at the pics?

The US PHRF database has the same high, low and average rating suggesting she may in fact be the only one like her.

Still trying to find out as much as I can.

That's the old "Double H" Bob told me it left the factory new as the one & only frac 32. I raced against it in KWRW in 05.
Not sure how well sailed it was, but the MH boats beat up on it pretty good.

I used to sail my E32-2 OB against Double H on Lake Erie. It is an IB with a frac rig. It has a huge main and smaller jib. MY OB rated 93 in PHRF, the IBs were 96 and Double H was at 99. She had her moments, but in general the standard masthead rigs were superior. I'm not sure how much of it was the boat and how much of it was how it was sailed.

This boat is now in Westbrook, CT. Just underwent a big rehab. Converted to mast head outboard, from FR, IB.

Thanks for the info, Screwb. Do you have an pictures of her in the new configuration?

[Finesse]

Yep, that boat was in Pensacola, FL as well. Named "Elvis". Current owner was going to convert it to a MH OB. Talked to us about buying our old mast. It did come from the factory as a frac (only made one or two). Mast is further forward as well. Not sure how far he got with the transformation. Can probably hook you up with the local guy here if that helps.

The masthead rig came from another Evelyn 32. It was completely stripped and repainted. All new standing and running rigging. Repainted the decks, some new sails. Sailed yesterday. Still have a lot to sort out, but we are getting there.

Will post some photos soon.

Awesome. One more E 32-2 is good news. Good luck with her!

Wow, nice refit! Love the black spars. How much work was needed to adjust the main bulkhead and chainplates?
