I found a sailboat hull buried in 2+ feet of snow at 9,500 feet elevation in the spring. Turns out it is a Force 5 and I rescued it from an older lady who said she would never sail it. Colorado license plates on the trailer from 1979! Anyway, turns out is has no centerboard, rudder, or tiller. She has no idea where they are and did not know they were missing. Anybody have any extra laying around or have any ideas? I am a longtime sailor and looking forward to teaching my 19 year old how to sail with this boat.

Hi Brad,

You have found a gem. This was likely one of the first boats ever made. I would like to see more pictures of the boat.
Keep in mind that the early boats had mast step failure and needs to be reinforced from the inside which requires the installation of an access port. I can share more details when you get closer.
I hope to go through my inventory of parts in the next month and I will let you know if I have any spare foils.
