I've sent two emails about the one in santa barbara and haven't heard a peep back out of the owner yet...

Commander227: That's a pretty elegant solution - it looks a lot more like a rubrail and a lot less like an afterthought than just the plain stainless rail.

Unfortunately, I missed my chance at the commander for sale here in the SF Bay.  Now I'm all hung up on these things, so I guess I'll be on the lookout...

Does anyone have a close up picture of their hull to deck joint?  The boat in san francisco that I was looking at has some minor damage along the joint on the starboard side that's about a foot long.  The boat is wrapped with a small stainless steel rubrail to protect the joint, but it's obviously missing in the area where the damage is.

When you guys refit these things, do you just fill and fair the joint, or are you refastening rubrails to the boats?  From most of the pictures I've seen it doesn't look like they get put back together with rubrails, and I kind of think they would look better without; it keeps em that much cleaner...

Hello All,

I'm looking at buying the Commander that is listed for sale on the SF Bay craigslist right now, and was wondering how active the SF Fleet is.  I saw that at one time there were 10 - 12 fleet races per year.  Is that still going on?  Also, the hull # of the boat I'm looking at is 89.  If anybody knows any history on the boat, I'd love to hear about it.  I used to own a 1979 Pearson 26OD, so I'm partial to pearsons, and I'm pretty sure I'd like to pick this thing up.  It needs love, but don't they all?  I'm looking forward to hearing back from the group, and possibly becoming a P26 owner again.

Cheers!
