Wow! I logged into today just to read over some old posts and I saw all the history. George, I can't thank you enough for all of this. I was proud to have #199 before this and even more now! I have to run to class (I'm in grad school) but I'll post some more on here later. I just wanted to say a quick thanks. -Dubby dubhelix - sailmfg
Don, Please see this post for more info: Good luck! dubby dubhelix - sailmfg
challenger15guy, Thanks for all the info. I knew this boat was special, I can't wait to get her out on the water. I was going to try for this weekend but the mailsail that I picked up (from a Neptune 16) doesn't seem like it is going to work unless I can get a boltrope put into the foot of the sail... It has been a major pain finding sails that are a good fit... but it is probably just myby dubhelix - sailmfg
BA sail on the Copperhead! (For those who don't know what BA is, look up the abbreviations here ) Awesome work, keep posting photos of your progress. dubby dubhelix - sailmfg
Joe, You are amazing. Information like this needs to be out here on the Internet or, suffice to say, this knowledge will die with those who have it. I have done more research in the past two weeks than I have actually put the time into working, no joke. Through all of the information I have discovered about the Chryslers, I didn't see anything like this come up. It seems like Dick Gibbsby dubhelix - sailmfg
A photo of a MFG Challenger was posted on the front page. Thanks whoever did that, it really helped! dubby dubhelix - sailmfg
ceaston, Thanks for a reply. I'm lost on the id of this boat. I am now thinking that this isn't a MFG boat at all. The boat was built by Leon F. Irish CO. out of Walled Lake, MI. They were in business from 1972 to 1984. According to they made sailboats, catamarans, and trimarans. I thought I was onto something with MFG. What I read was that they wanted to just make sailboat hulls anby dubhelix - sailmfg
Does anyone else have a 15' MFG boat? I am seeing 19's all over the place... anyone know why? (other than they made more). dubby dubhelix - sailmfg

ark, Wow. I can say that you are completely dedicated. I'm glad your kids had a great time. Even though I'm just getting going, I can't wait to teach my 3.5 yr. old when he is older to sail. I have been around recreational boats my whole life, but sailing is by far the most fulfilling. See you on the water (prob. only if we get lost from Chicago or Wisconsin). dub PS.

Hey arknoah, Thanks for the post. I just cleaned it up with some car wash soap and a nylon brush head. It looked a lot worse than that... funny story.... but I got the boat and trailer for a steal (no, not literally, but it felt like it). Anyways, no go on the sails yet. It looks like the JY 15 sails would actually work for it. I have verified that they attach to the mast/boom just likby dubhelix - sailmfg
Ok, answered my own question. Outhaul, right? Pulls the main sail towards the edge of the boom?by dubhelix - sailmfg
Also, what is this wheel / line for? See arrows on image. Attached is a photo of the boom, looking down on the top. Thanks!by dubhelix - sailmfg
Alright everyone, I'm new to this forum. I just bought my first sailboat. I've sailed approx 20 hours and decided it was time for a nice daysailer... so this is what I bought. I thought it was a Redhead 17 at first, but I then realized my LOA is 15'. I think it is a MFG hull, but I am finding little info on Leon F. Irish CO. or SAILAND... is this a Challenger 15? The trailer I picked up wiby dubhelix - sailmfg
