Ken plans on building up a small fleet of 242’s in Sequim over time. He has been sailing since he was 7; racing since junior high school; in Lasers, Finn’s, FJ’s, Tasers, Lightning’s and assorted small keel boats. He bought and raced a 36’ Beneteau to Hawaii in the Vic-Maui Race; basically a lifetime of competitive racing. He also won the SYC Grand Prix in 1993.
With a white color, Round-Up has the following attributes:
- Repainted deck and hull
- Bottom paint applied
- Comes with a road trailer
- The boom is a short, Oregon, version and needs to be replaced with a Class-standard boom (done, courtesy of Ken Machtley)
- The deck layout is non-standard and needs a bit of a re-jig to meet Class Rules
- Needs a forestay tang - easily fabricated by Pro-Tech in North Vancouver
- Needs G10 rods under the gunnels for the shrouds to be supported - obtainable via several vendors on the Buy-Sell page
- Did not have an outboard engine, but new 2.5hp’s are not expensive
- Does not have any racing sails - there are used ones available on the market
- The boat needs a 2016 Measurement Certificate but has been partially reviewed by Ken Machtley and Michael Clements (on Sept 4 a Measurement Cert was mostly completed including weighing by Ken Machtley)
