Vehicle Description I'm prefacing the details of this vintage sailboat with the following background history for the benefit of a potential buyer. The "Margaret R" has been with my family for more than three decades. My parents purchased the Tavana in 1973 from the original Owner that lived in Fort Lauderdale. The "Margaret R" has not been cared for the past 2-3 years. During that time my mother developed cancer, eventually passing away, and my father's Alzheimer's became more advanced. So the "Margaret R" has sat moored, and greatly ignored, finally making the decision to sell her. The "Margaret R" had been always impeccably maintained until my father's health declined. This Tavana would be a great restoration project for someone that can appreciate a vintage racer/cruiser sailboat. The "Margaret R" should eventually be put in dry dock so that her hull, decks, and teak trim could be refinished. During and after Tropical Storm Faye many areas of the marina were under water, and the battery for the bilge pump had died. The sailboat took on some water during the storm through hatches, and it sat closed-up and inaccessible due to the marina's flooding for many months. Due to the heat and humidity, the entire interior of the sailboat needs a good scrubbing as well as new carpeting. The sails had been stored elsewhere, and appear to be in fairly good condition, (but the buyer will need to examine them). The dingy disappeared in recent years, so the new Owner will need to acquire one. The "Margaret R" is being sold in "as-is" condition as it will need a lot of TLC. It has a clear title. My parents always kept their sailboat on the Intercoastal in Cocoa until recent years when it was sailed north to Jacksonville, then south on the St. John's River to be moored in Sanford, Florida. The website for the marina where the sailboat can be inspected is www.sanfordboatworks.com. The "Margaret R" is located in slip E-4060. It should be noted that various paperwork shows different dates for the Tavana. An insurance survey completed in 2006 shows "1966" as the model year. My father's records show "1964" as the model year, and the Florida Vessel Certificate of Title shows "1968". I think those discrepancies are based on the engine being 1966, and possibly the date of completion and original date of sale varied. For all purposes it's best to use the Florida Vessel Certificate date of 1968, and the hull number is #148325. (This information is from original brochure from the manufacturer): "The Tavana is the design of Harold S. "Dooley" Glander, President of Glander Boats, Inc. The all fiberglass hull is molded in one piece. There is a balanced lay-up with alternate layers of one & 1/2 ounce Mat and 24 ounce woven roving which is approximately 1/2" thick at the sheer, gradually increasing in thickness to 5/8" at the keel, forming a strong rigid hull which needs no batten of any kind. The bare hull weighs a ton, 3,000 pounds of lead ballast is carried inside the hollow keel. The Tavana is built to the highest standards of workmanship and material, built in a climate that is ideal for proper fiberglass curing without artificial means. The Tavana is a racing yacht with very good turn of speed without sacrificing any of the cruising qualities that are so important for the full enjoyment of sailing. Having a long water line in relation to her overall length not only contributes to the seaworthiness of the boat, but also allows for comfortable accomodations of up to five people."

Full Compliment of Sails Anyone that would like a copy of the full Insurance Survey prepared in November of 2006 can email me and I will forward the document as a pdf file. My father saved every record throughout the three decades he cared for the "Margaret R" (my mother's name). I have various blueprints, as well as a significant amount of literature for the engine, sails, mast, and and other components as well as the repairs throughout the 36 years it's been in our family. This sailboat was never meant to be kept inland, as waters are too shallow in the area it's presently moored. The "Margaret R" has sailed the Atlantic ocean along the east coast of Florida, as well as much of the Intercoastal Waterway throughout Florida. She deserves to be taken back to deep water, and properly restored, and then enjoyed for many decades to come. This Tavana was originally designed as a Sloop, then changed to a Cutter Rig. I have included old photos of the "Margaret R", as well as current photos taken 10/10/09 for your reference. Please feel free to contact me with any of your questions. roxannehinkle@mindspring.com Below is a little of the information listed in the November 6th, 2006 Insurance Survey (so expect that in the past three years while it's been sitting neglected, this information listed below may be outdated and no longer accurate).

Vehicle Description I'm prefacing the details regarding this vintage sailboat with the following background history for the benefit of a potential buyer. The "Margaret R" has been with my family for more than three decades. My parents purchased the Tavana in 1973 from the original Owner that lived in Fort Lauderdale. The "Margaret R" has not been cared for the past 2-3 years. During that time my mother developed cancer, eventually passing away, and my father's Alzheimer's went from mild to advanced. So the "Margaret R" has sat alone and moored, as well as greatly ignored all of this time, until we've finally made the difficult and rather emotional decision to allow her to leave our family, so she can be cared for by someone new that will hopefully enjoy her as much as we have the past 36 years. The "Margaret R" had always been impeccably maintained until my father's health declined in recent years. This Tavana would be a great restoration project for someone that can appreciate a vintage racer/cruiser. The "Margaret R" should eventually be put in dry dock so that her hull, decks, and teak trim can be refinished. Many years ago my father selected all of the teak for the bowsprit and trim himself, and then he hand-carved, finished, and installed all of it on the Tavana. In recent years when our family wasn't that aware of my father's subtle mental decline, he had paid someone he had trusted to repaint the hull above the waterline, as well as the entire deck with marine-quality materials. The person took significant advantage of my father, and instead simply applied cheap house paint and Bondo directly over the existing marine surface coatings. To restore the Tavana appropriately, these "house-type" materials should be removed and marine-quality coatings applied in their place. The "Margaret R" is presently located in Eastern Central Florida. The regional flooding from Tropical Storm Faye in 2008 caused many areas of the St. John's River as well as the marina to remain unreachable for quite some time. Unfortunately, the battery for the bilge pump had died without our knowing it, and the sailboat took on some water during the storm through various hatches. Because of the weather conditions, the "Margaret R" sat idle, closed-up, and inaccessible due to the marina's flooding for the next few months. With the Florida heat and humidity and inability to access and air out the sailboat, the entire interior of the sailboat most certainly needs a good scrubbing "from head to toe" as well as new carpeting installed throughout the cabin. The sails have been stored elsewhere, and appear to be in fairly good condition, (but the buyer will need to examine them). The dingy disappeared in recent years, so the new Owner will need to acquire one. The "Margaret R" is being sold in "as-is" condition as it will need a lot of TLC. It has a clear title which I can sign over to the new Owner as I am the Personal Representative of my mother's estate, as well as the Legal Guardian for my father. For a potential buyer's reference, a completely restored 33' Tavana built during the same period can range in value from $29,000.00 to the mid 30's. Over the many years, my parents always kept their sailboat on the Intercoastal in or near Cocoa, until more recently when it was sailed north to Jacksonville, then sailed south on the St. John's River to be moored in Sanford, Florida so that my father could go visit it every day. The website for the marina where the sailboat can be inspected is www.sanfordboatworks.com. The "Margaret R" is located in slip E-4060 (the "R" has since fallen off, since my mother passed away). It should be noted that various paperwork shows different dates for the Tavana. An insurance survey completed in 2006 shows "1966" as the model year. My father's records show "1964" as the model year, and the Florida Vessel Certificate of Title shows "1968". I think those discrepancies are based on the engine being 1966, and possibly the date of completion and original date of sale varied. For all purposes it's best to use the Florida Vessel Certificate date of 1968, and the hull number is #148325. I have also contacted the Glander's Boat Company, and they are still in the Florida Keys. The original owner of the company has handed it off to new owners, but they remain involved in the Tavana's history and needs as it relates to any future restoration projects.

FYI only regarding the Glander's Tavana 33' sailboat: This is from the website link: http://florida-keys-vacation-rental-...%20Sailing.htm Sailing is truly a lifelong sport. You can enjoy the wind and waves at any age. Sailing can be a quiet, restful few hours on the water, a long cruise to destinations unknown, or an exciting blast across the lake. If you like to race, it can be done just about anywhere around the world ... the sailboat racing community is a fun and joyous group. UKSC GLANDER CUP 2009 KEY LARGO SAILING YOU TUBE Dooley Glander of Glander Boat Works south of Key Largo built and designed a mold for the 33 - foot Tavana. There were about 150 built. GLANDER CUP 2009 courses Key Largo Ocean Courses It cannot be overstated that before you begin, have someone who is experienced show you the rigging on the sail boat. All boats are different but some things are the same. This will cover the hardware presented on most small sailboats and common sailing techniques and the many definitions of terms that you will need. You should know the names of the different pieces of hardware on the boat, all the lines, and should learn to rig the boat by yourself. Sailing is the art of controlling a boat with large pieces of canvas cloth called sails. By changing the rigging, rudder, and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats. All great sailors share one common trait -- knowing that they don't know it all. Every trip out of the slip is a potential learning experience. Every article or book contains something new. From a different way to tie a familiar knot to someone else's idea of a properly trimmed sail, it's worth knowing about. Here are some statistics for the most searched sailboats. While this may be kind of a popularity ranking, we still urge you to get the right craft for the type of sailing you want to do.
