Bought this little gem (Whistler11 #279) about 15 years ago in CT and have had a blast each and every time we have taken her out on the lake. Have not gone out in a few years as the boat traffic in GA, where we now live, is crazy with the gas guzzlers and party barges. As I have written in the subject section, she is #279 and looking for a year when she was first sold. Anyone have one older? I still use the orignial sails as well as what I believe is the original trailer. Trying to find new sails and a new trailer. Does anyone have the dimensions/measurements of the sails so I can provide the sail maker (National Sails Supply) for an estimate?
Also looking for a diagram for the travel rigging to the boom. Until I found this website this weekend, I had a single block on the traveler running up through the boom but the pixs look like a different configuration. I am using a piece of line from the clew to the end of the boom for my outhaul but the pix look like the main sheet is attached to the clew. Would love to send a picture to an expert for their assistance.
Look forward to hearing from fellow Whistler sailors and thank you for putting this site together.
