it was the prototype for the Renken 18 production sailboat.
Renken produced the R18 throughout the 1980's
Excellent boat for cruising the FL Intercoastal or light sailing on the ocean. Very easy to setup and sail. Comes with very nice 2009 Tohatsu 4 Stroke 3.5 HP engine. Lots of accessories and extras included with the boat. Everything you need to go sailing today. Not a "fixer upper that needs TLC".
The boast sits on a heavy duty ShorelandeR trailer with a swing tongue for extra room when park in the garage. It has new springs, bunk bracket and bunk supports and is in good condition to be driven anywhere.
Extras are: Flares about a year old, Hand operate beige pump, port potty, cooler, electric cooling fan, fire extinguisher and other necessities. Also comes with a small deep cycle battery and a solar battery maintainer.
