You're right.  It's a Sparrow Hawk and I got an email from him on Friday (I
was going to demo it that night or the next day) and he told me he had bad
news.  You can probably guess.  He loaned it to a "best customer" along with
another boat and he forgot to tie it down!  It went sailing off the back of
his full sized van scraping gel coat but not damaging the fiberglass.  He
said he will be putting a new keel strip on it and it will be better than
new.  Is this an OK thing?

I'll still demo it if I haven't found one before then.
