Yeah, I’m in SC. I was sweating today out there while cleaning her up. 🙂

That’s what I was thinking as well. I haven’t actually sailed it yet 😀 Just got it in the water last weekend and was up there this weekend getting it all shined up and ready to go. Hoping to take her for a spin next weekend.

So I ended up buying this boat. I have it on the lake. Turns out it is a kells 22, not a 23. There doesn’t appear to be any compression post inside the boat but I don’t think it ever had one. Hard to find any info on it. Is this the keel lock? https://preview.redd.it/9herfjz8mp1g1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d864ca5cfd1e9e2f5b2ce86839cc2b914bf928a

Yeah, I was wondering about that. The boat I took the class on had a traveler and vang so I would have to figure out how to work this setup.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll be sure to check those things out

I plan to put it in the lake and leave it until I seek it or need to haul it out for repairs

Well done sir! After getting some more info from the owner it is indeed a kells 23

I’m in South Carolina. Unfortunately that’s a bit far otherwise I’d be interested. 🙂

It would stay in the water most of the year. I am actually going to look at a vagabond 17’ tomorrow. I’m definitely keeping a lookout for a Catalina 22’ My wife would like to be able to spin the night on it once in a while.
