The main mast was taken down on a port tack when the pin attaching the chain plate and the turn buckle came out. Not my finest hr. The mast was sheared off at deck level and just above the spreaders. No damage to the rest of the boat. Saved the mizen mast by running a line to the bow.
The boat comes with a cradle. Keel is 3000lbs of led and was reconditioned with new lead and new staineless steel replacing old self taping type. It is powered by a yanmar 1gm 10 at 8 hp I have owned the VIATOR for about 24 years and as she gets better over time I lose the energy to carry on . Good sea boat as I crused to the Behamas in 92 for one year.
The mast is behing the garage at the yatch club and is made of BC fur.It can be spliced with some effort or hand made at some expense. I am not up to the task for health reasons. I am willing to let her go for $7000.00 rather than see her go to scrap for the same money.
oh, if you have pictures of the break in the mast and the cradle that would be great. Canadian or US? and lastly she would go to the Tawas Bay Yacht Club on Tawas Bay MI. (its shallowing out a bit, check out google earth.)
Also have my H-28 posted for sale but may rethink it .Are you parting out the boat and if so I would be interested in the mizzen,sails if in good shape and any hardware (winches,cleats etc)Thanks Charlie fritz chazfritz@yahoo.com phone 970-871-9234 PS would like to see any photos if available
This was a Wisc boat a few years ago? What happened to the main mast? Is there a trailer or cradle?
I am curious, need a heavy weather fall boat for lake huron

Hi Phil
The boat draft is 3.5 shol keel,
The price is in canadian dollars.
I will try and send the pictures via your e-mail address as they will not attach to this screen.
The cradle is wood, bolted together 4×4 with 6×6 for length of keel, wooden wedges are used for adjustment .
unfortunately there was very little interest in my h28 and I have decided to delist her for sale.
The motor has been sold and the boat will be dismanteled this spring . There are some old winches and much magahogny and the mizzen mast .
Thanks for your support

Wow… that’s sad! Is she solid / rot free?
Perhaps we can talk offline about what’s left of her – we have a 1965 H28 in Whitby, Ontario…
