Hi Cindy, I'm new to sailing, but my partner in the boat has sailed all his life. We have spent the last few years reviving an 87 model. She is now absolutaly sound and beautiful. My partner says our 175 is blown out, so we have interest in a replacement. The headsail that came with the boat does not have a halyard to lower and change out, but we are thinking the furler is a CDI brand that could have been rigged with a halyard. We'll have to drop the mast to make sure. If it can be rigged with a halyard, we may be interested in a better 175 and a 135, so we have some flexibility depending on wind. Can you give us an idea of costs. We assume that if you are selling them there is ample life left in them. We've come a long way on the boat, and probably should buy new, but the cost of this refurbish has gone way over the top. You know how that goes.
