My grandfather built this pond sailboat around 1928-9. Won a silver loving cup in the Omaha B O (not sure what the B and the O stand for) Yacht Club championship. It is going to take some work. The mast is broken into three pieces. I really think I need to salvage what I can of the mast, I hate the thought of building something new for it. I decided to make it a radio controlled pond boat in 1967 out of my old 50's vintage Citizenship tube powered radio control. Not exactly sure if I should restore that part of it. I still have the radio control, it is so old with it's tube type transmitter and tube reciever it is considered an antique itself now. Any thoughts or ideas welcomed.
