Hello forum! I use to race back in the day (80s & 90s) in the Northeast and wondering if anyone has seen my 2 old H18s. First one was a '87 with white hulls, white tramp and Orange Crusher Sails with sail number 10/31 and called Halloween. Last heard it was in Western Mass. The last one was a '86 with White hulls, blue tramp and Magnum wings, had a white sail numbered 0/3 and paint splothces, called Shear Madness. Ah the good old days.... Older now with twin 5 year olds and thinking some day of getting a H18 Magnum & showing them the ropes:) |

Sails are replaced, hulls are repainted or graphics are changed, it's difficult to remember every boat one sees, boats are damaged and lost, boats are stored unused for long periods of time, forum posts are buried and someone who may know the answer won't see the question, boats are shipped out of the country. There's nothing wrong with trying but you also need patience. If you had the serial numbers your search could go faster if you know how to look. |

I wonder where my old boats went sometimes. But a boat is alot like a lover, and they are an ex for a reason. Last I saw my old 18's there were in Alameda and Valejo. 3110 or 16791 out there? |

Rich, you know where 3110 is - it's in a landfill. The guy you sold it to turtled it in the SF Bay and the mast got stuck in the mud. He and his crew were rescued but the boat wasn't, and it later became free and drifted onto the rocks near the Oakland Airport and broke up. |
