normally it does. could be a misprint. i do know that the superstructure is fiberglass though. she is beautiful, but man, the work to maintain her. still she's a nice example of the old days of yachting.k9th wrote:Beautiful woodie. Thought the F meant fiberglass in the F series.

pics, we need pics!! def would love to see your 42.csnyder wrote:A fine ship indeed. I picked up a 1970 42Ft. in July. Out of the water for 20 years. Just put her in last Friday. Lots of work / hull / engines etc. Everything inside original except carpet. Soaking now for 5 days with one 1/2 hour cruise. Looks very close to this one but 5 ft shorter. Rides smoothly, velvet drives trans. works perfect. Overheating in port engine at 1500 rpm but cool at 1000....go figure..more work to do. I've been reading your forum for the past 3 months through my project. Great insight from members. Fun to be "aboard" Now off to marina to check bilge level ( still taking on a bit of water...but sealing up better every day.) 3rd time today.
Cheers!
