I used to be a part of a Sea Explorer group in Owatonna, Minnesota (1984-1989). We sailed a "Charger" Bandit 15. I believe it was built about 1984. After the Explorer group disbanded, the boat was turned over to the VFW Post 77 in Owatonna (they had purchased the boat for us). I believe that over the years, the boat was stored in several places...eventually ending up in the hands of the MN State park Dept. I talked to them a couple years ago, and they thought the boat was auctioned.
The boat was named "Spirit of 77".
I doubt that anyone will know the whereabouts of this specific boat, but I thought i'd share, just in case.
I would be interested in buying a Bandit 15. I now live in Central Minnesota.
