They made sailboats. Probably not too many... Al might have some of the numbers. Earl Faust, the owner of Allegheny Marina, had one that on occasion would set sail on the Allegheny River.

Sounds like they made them for three years.  And then a fire at Rinker destroyed the moulds, drawings, etc and the project was done and never started over.

I know of a Rinker sailboat that is in Pittsburgh. I am not sure of the year.

Is this an early April Fool's post? Please tell me Rinker never made sailboats!

....that fire was heaven's doing. No rag baggers at Rinker! (The Admiral was a sailor when I met her - I converted her to the dark side - POWER LOL)

Handymans342

I can't find any 34 foot boat like mine with Diesels that I can race

Michael T

Yeah Steve - there isn't another 5 foot dork in existence dumb enough to buy one! LMAO

Handymans342

Ok MT I see you are back on the meds

Michael T

....Steve you know you have to take it back if you start it (your habit of doing things), right. I don't mind being called a 7 foot dork by you as long as you realize that makes you 2 feet of dork shorter than me. You feelin' the love Steve?

Handymans342

6-2 dork MT just sayin
