--Previous Message-- : Rob, : : My name is John Sibert and I previously : owned Impetuous in the 80's. Sold my half : in 1990 and lost track of her. Glad to see : she is being restored - she was a fine and : very fast boat. I tried to send you an : extensive email with some history of the : boat, but the email address on the owners : page was rejected. Contact me with a good : email and I'll resend. : : --Previous Message-- : : My name is Rob Walsh and I have purchased : the Yankee, Impetuous. She has been : seriously neglected for quite some time, and : I have been seriously rebuilding her. One : time I have to believe that she was one of : the fastest of all Yankees. But all the : extra wenches, cleats, rails, is all there : for some serious racing. I do not believe : that the serious racing is the direction : that I want to go. I bought her to do some : serious cruising and The extra cleating, : rails, blocks, wenches, instruments have put : some wounds in her. And I have started to : repair her from the holes that the : additional rigging has put in her . But as : I explore into your web site and the : pictures that you have in their I see that : there is a few extra wenches and soft : rigging that could be a benefit. I'm not : sure how far I should restore her back to : original? And I was wondering if you, or : someone that you may know could help me? I : have to believe that I will restore her to : almost as good as new if not as good as new. : I enjoy labor of love and have put a lot of : time and money into her. I also have built : a serious trailer for her. And without a : glitch brought her from San Pedro to Reno : Nevada, where I am rebuilding her. I have : been a cabinet maker all my life. I am good : with mechanical, painting, body repair and : metal fabrication which helps me to bring : this project back to life. If you could : help I would appreciate it. Thank you Rob : Walsh : : :
