1974 E25 CB questions
I am in the process of looking for another boat, and a local broker has got a 1974 E25 CB for sale that looks interesting. Is there anything specific about this boat that the group dislikes? I have read the posts that say to keep an eye out for the CB pin, etc, but is there anything bad about this boat in general, especially compared to a fixed keel boat? I have never had any dealings with a centerboard sailboat before and I wonder how much different it is compared to a fixed keel with regards to stability/tenderness and windward ability. I am sailing in an inland lake, so the ability to have a small draft would be nice, but I'm leery of more moving parts to fail. Any opinions on CB boats in general or this boat in particular would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
