Penguin Wanted in Michigan

Seeking Penguin with decent trailer. Boat needing some cosmetic work is OK.  Major renovations are sadly beyond my skill level.  Glass or wooden Penguin works for me.  Plan to use for day sailing, but might want to try out the racing scene. Located in southeast Michigan.  Willing to travel if within a few hundred miles or meet halfway.  Please contact Phil at baytripper7180@gmail.com (posted 4/14/2023)

Penguin Wanted

Penguin sailboat in Ohio vicinity.  My father built a Penguin in our living room when I was a child in the late 60's.We raced it for a number of years and unfortunately it fell in to disrepair and was junked after he died in 1996. I am interested in purchasing one and getting back on the water. I live in Minnesota but have access to a nearby lake in Wisconsin.

Looking for Penguin 1947:

I am seeking the whereabouts of Penguin 1947.
This boat was built by my father and mother (Thomas and Mary Anderson)
in their basement/garage in Richmond, Virginia and sailed predominantly
from the Fishing Bay Yacht club, near Deltaville.
My mother gave it away after my dad died and I would like to find it and
see if the current owner might be willing to sell it to me.
I had many happy hours growing up with it and would like to share the
experience with my grandchildren.

Penguin #4474 with papers. She is in need of work, but has plenty of extras including all hardware to hang on a garage ceiling. The hull needs to be wooded down and repainted. I have a good Dacron sail, plus brackets for holding mast and boom while trailing. I do not have a trailer any more. 

I am asking $450. The boat has a small crack in the keel which needs fixing before she is completely water tight.   http://raleigh.craigslist.org/boa/5658193338.html

5524 (possibly). Comes with an old trailer that looks like it was slightly modified to carry this particular boat. Trailer is highway ready with working lights and decent tires.
One of the turnbuckles and the oars are contemporary. Some carabiners were used to attach the sheet but other than that, it looks like nearly all of the fittings are original, patina'd brass.
There is some minor leaking from somewhere, probably the pivoting centerboard casing.
At some point somebody used everyday latex paint on the bottom (blue in the photos) which did not fully seal the boat.
Boat is 100% sail-able and towable as is.

Boat is currently garaged in Marquette, MI.
Asking price is $1000.

9749  We’ve sailed the boat one time since I bought it at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum auction on August 30, 2008. The boat and trailer have been stored indoors the entire time. This boat, Tuxedo Junction, No. 9749 was built by Jerry Mullins, Norfolk, VA and measured and certified in 2003. The boat was built in strict accordance with I.P.C.D.A. specifications.

I would like to sell the boat and trailer for $3,500.00. This is what I paid for it at the auction. If you know of anyone interested in a very lightly used Penguin, please have them contact me.

Thank you for your consideration
