I picked one up this summer. I see in the photo that your main sheet goes through something on middle seat or on the daggerboard trunk. Would you mind posting a picture as mine doesn't do that but I'm thinking a quick release cleat might be convenient but also risky in a strong wind. thanks
Hey, I like your site! I just picked up a Wildflower and have a question. Is your foredeck wood or fiberglass? On page 3 of the manual it talks about a foredeck support and mine doesn't appear to have that - however, my model has a wooden foredeck, so I'm wondering if maybe that wasn't required for models with a wooden foredeck because it doesn't require support. The boat is in super shape, so I don't believe anyone took it out but I'm curious. If yours does could you post a pic? Thanks!
I purchased a used Wildflower in 1979 and sailed it for about 10 years. Pure fun. My wife even sewed a Christmas stocking for our daughter with the boat's shape and sail with the big "W".
Hi, just found your site. We just purchased a Wildflower that looks exactly like yours from a couple who has owned and sailed it for YEARS. What year is your boat, Tim? We too don't know how to rig the main sheet correctly and it seems to have no cleats! Our centerboard has a Bungey cord holding it down. Not sure what used to be there. Anyway, it is nice to find others who own this boat!
DI have a wildflower too! Do you have an email where I can contact you?
ReplyDeletesure...leave me your email and I will send you one. Thanks

ReplyDeleteMy foredeck is fiberglass, so I agree with you. With wooden foredech, no extra support is needed. Have fun out on the water!
