She needs a mainsail cover.
Original steel Trailer is solid and functional and great for around south fla, but could use a paint job and bearing and tires for any long haul, if i sink money into it the price will go up.
There is a rocna anchor and anchor roller to be installed on the bow (2 other danforth anchors included)
This is one of the nicest examples of an M17 you will find. No dissapointments
