FOT,

Kas also had a very successful sailing career. So much, that he was a consultant to a major sailboat manufacturer. He owns at least one National Championship.

Alexander Racing acquired one of his sailboats and had it shipped to Iowa. Hull repair, new gelcoat came first. Now, new hardware and lines, we are a couple of weeks from launching the restored boat.

The Contender. A highly technical single handed sailing boat.

Thanks to:
Kas Kastner.  Coordinated the purchase from Doug Brown’s widow, Polly.
Brad Eells. Supported the shipping to Iowa.
Cory Tiefenthaler. Hull Repair & new Gelcoat. 
Brendan Alexander. Rigging and Hardware

Ya. I did some stuff, too. 

Sailing, in modest terms, is in its third generation for us.
