I am currently negotiating with the owner. I have the facility to do the job. If things progress well the boat will be in my shop late spring. I am definately open to options such as a combined effort to save this boat. I should know soon.

Well I went buy to check up on the boat and its gone. I had a sad feeling. I wished I was able to keep it . I'm hoping someone save it and it's not lost forever.

The owner has contacted HORBA and let us know that he has it and is in the process of restoring it now.
I am sure that when he gets to the point he wants to go public, he will be posting some photos of that great old boat.
We have some nice shots of it back in the day on the site,

what a hole in my stomach when the wife and I drove by the now empty lot just last week-end. Glad to hear its being restored, after peeking around it last spring I assumed it was cut up.

The "KAAMA" is in one of my shops in Hampton Falls, NH. I honestly have to say that the pics do it no justice, after a good powerwash I could not believe this boat, it is in remarkable shape for sitting so long. The sponsons from the "J" forward are exceptional!, headed aft it is still in excellent shape until the engine hatch area then we have some problems. It is only plywood and not the biggest restoration I have tackled. I have to finish the "Great Adventure" first, then tackle the "KAAMA". It is far from over for this boat and this boat will be back!!!

I you get into problems during the restoration you might want to contact some wooden sailboat restorers ,especially those that do mR-Rule restorations, links at http://www.6mrnorthamerica.com/
Them mR-rule boats used plywood and cold lamination already in the 40īs..carbon fiber was the norm in the late 50īs on some parts like rudders etc.
