>> "Roomy for its size, the Howmar Twelve is a racer, trainer, and daysailer. The hull's light weight makes for a very fast sailer. The boat has internal seating, is self bailing, and has buoyancy chamber flotation. There is dry storage under the forward seat. Capacity is 480 pounds. The main is loose-footed and has an adjustable outhaul. Both rudder and centerboard are polyurethane. The sharp bow cuts through the waves, and with its broad aft lines, the Howmar Twelve will plane."
>> My observations:
>> The cockpit is large. Of the 12 foot length, the cockpit is 9 ft. 9 in long.
>> The main and jib halyards feed conveniently to the cockpit, each to a side of the centerboard trunk.
>> Main and jib sheets also feed to cockpit within easy reach.
>> Bow rail makes for easy handling while launching , beaching or retrieving.
>> Hull has been painted by previous owner, some checking of gelcoat in cockpit. Boat, sails and trailer in very good condition. No maintenance or reliability issues.

>> Sale includes galvanized trailer with buddy bearings, new wheels and tires with current license plate.
Complete, ready to sail and trailer away.
