Chrysler Lonestar LS-13, late 1960s

Chrysler Lonestar LS-13 project w/ extras

This is basically one hull (LS-13) with the sails, spars, and hardware of two boats (LS-13 and Vagabond 14).

Lonestar LS-13, 1965 or later (after Chrysler bought Lonestar)

  • Length 13'1", beam 5'1", weight 350 lb.
  • Masthead sloop-rigged, double "bilge-boards"

    This boat has had almost all hardware removed from hull as part of a refurbish project that never happened. All hardware is present expect for gudgeons/pintles for (missing) rudder.

    Boat comes with an almost-complete duplicate set of hardware, apparently from a Vagabond 14 (=Holder 14). See photo.

    Boat comes with 2 sets of sails, each mainsail plus jib:

  • Set #1 is by Larsen, and may be original (number 208), in good condition although stained and soiled, several good tape patches, jib seems to be genoa in size.
  • Set #2 is actually for a Vagabond 14 (=Holder 14), logo and number (203) good and clear, but several rips, jib is normal one seen with V14.
  • Boat comes with 2 masts and 2 booms:
  • Mast #1 is original LS-13, slightly bent near bottom, all stays and adjusters present, masthead sheaves worse for wear. No original boom from LS-13.
  • Mast #2 is for Vagabond 14 (=Holder 14), complete with matching boom, with tackle, side-stays (forestay is threaded into Vagabond jib, see above).
  • There is an extra boom, too large for this boat.
  • Missing rudder/tiller, original boom.
  • Needs new running rigging.
  • Gelcoat in pretty rough shape, i.e., chips, gouges, crazing.
  • Hull seems good and solid, no soft spots.
  • Some repairs were done in past, as shown by multiple drill-holes in transom and bilge boards.
  • Transom reinforced in past, but that wood is very old now.

  • Comes with Dilly trailer made by Green & Green Mfg., probably in 1970s, good condition, tires are old but functional, rudimentary bunks need to be replaced, no real winch in front (using a tie-down strap instead), has Texas plates but latest tags are from 1991.
