Helped a neighbor recover a dinghy not used in 2-3 years

Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

A buddy has an American 14.6, but had not used it in several years, and offered it to another neighbor.  We spent 8 hours cleaning it, figuring out how to put up the shrouds, mast, and boom, and run the sheets.  Launched it, and used the outboard (which worked!) to push it out on Valentine Creek to where there was wind, where we put up the main and then the jib and had a very nice first sail on the boat, which turned out to be nicely stable.  Fun!
