"Wind Wing" Is a 1983 Dutch Flyer 28' Sailboat in the rest of the world they are called a Piewiet 850.
Brigid and Dan purchased " Wind Wing" in the fall of 2007. We left her on the hard at Herrington North in Tracy's Landing ,MD for 3 months. During this time we went through the her replacing, polishing, stripping sanding, wiring, rigging and more. November 15th 2007 we took our maiden voyage to our home berth at "Placid Harbor" on the Patuxent River. Over the winter we continued to clean and outfit her as ours. The 1gm Yanmar diesel was rebuilt before we settled on her. A mechanic that is based of Herrington Harbor performed the work. We have receipts from settlement. Unfortunately he was not very honest or a very good mechanic. His rebuild consisted of honing the cylinder, new head gasket and lots of paint! After having trouble with it starting I pulled the motor and rebuilt it myself. Bored cylinder, new piston w/rings, new bearings and all seals. It now runs like a top, even with 40f water temps in the fall it fires instantly.
