She was typical, almost as manufactured, but had the cracked, peeling, flaking Inside paint that most of Schock boats had from that time period. After 3 months of sanding and a couple days of painting, a new boat appeared. Fall 98 Handicap commitee has done it again, handicap lowered to 178. Our local sailing club,CLSC,here in East Tennessee is an assortment of boats and the intent is to have fun while getting out the agressions of the week. The club has an open headsail rule which allows for using used sails that fit but may not have been designed for, like the J24.
Cherokee lake is large enough to do a little cruising on.
Lots of coves to over-night. I've included a report of an over-nighter to German Creek, about a 16 mile one way trip. Tom Schock did not keep records so we will have to find them ourselves. The strange .jpg's on this sight other that the photos are from the original Sales Broshure that the dealers used to lure us in. Remember that you still need sails.
