Breaking wind

So I picked one of these up for a song, all the rigging is good, the sails look to be brand new! and a good trailor to boot. I thought that the kids and I could use this on the little local in the back yard when we aren't out on the Mac. Anyone have any experience with these? judging from the masthead rig, large sails and the bilgeboards I am guessing it should be a quick little thing?  

It looks like a fun little boat, Chrysler LS-13 http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/sail_ls13.html Picture of one rigged: http://www.sailingtexas.com/sls13.html Why do they call the 'centerboards' 'bilgeboards'? Do you have a spinnaker for it too?  

no chute but I bet I can make one!  

same function/purpose but bilgeboards are mounted closer to the sides, sometimes splayed so when heeling they are vertical in the water. Not sure how close to the sides they have to be before they become bilgeboards, too far and they become leeboards. (Once won dinner for two because I knew the difference!) Ken.  

LS 13 Learned how to sail on #311 on White Rock Lake in Dallas back in 69. Sailed that boat for 6 years and have my name on the nationals trophy 3 times. Let the little ones drive and put the big guy in front to keep the transom out of the water. Repack the bilgeboard handles every year and they will still leak, you just get used to bailing. If there is not already foam under the seats ,put some in as this will allow the boat to float after you flip it. It will take a spinaker and they are alot of fun and easy to control. If you want to get the most out of the jib you will need to add some short jibcar tracks.  

thanks guys we took it out last night! Carl you are right about the bilgeboards they leak a little, 2 hours and not enough water to speak of (barely to the bottom of the wood floor) the jib could definately use a track and I already ordered the stuff from sailrite to make a chute! this little thing is pretty quick even in light air. Man if this boat was a little bit smaller I would use it for a dinghy on the Mac. What a great find this has been, and my kids like it too. My oldest is already collecting milk jugs so he can make a race track!

Chrysler Marine

Chrysler Corp. had been in the boating industry since 1957, and began building sailboats in the mid 1960’s. It bought out a company called Lone Star Boats of Grand Prairie, Texas in 1965. During the 70’s the Chrysler sailboat product line expanded from small day-sailors to include larger trailer cruising boats up to 30 feet (designed by Halsey Herreshoff). It’s manufacturing facility was located in Plano, TX. When Chrysler experienced financial problems that eventually resulted in a US Government bailout, it sold off all it’s marine related subsidiaries. Six executives of the boat building subsidiary purchased the assets and formed Texas Marine International Inc. in Plano, Texas (1980).
