Ditto, welcome Commander 275!
In addition to what the other guys have told you I would add that these boats are absolutely worth the effort you put into them. I spent a long time restoring C147 and I am launching her again tomorrow for my second season of sailing her since the restoration. Here in Florida our sailing season is fall, winter and spring. I love sailing her and I love all of the admiring comments I get whenever I take her out.
Enjoy!!!
