Yankee 30 "Impetuous"

Impetuous is an early Yankee 30, hull number 7 owned by Rob Walsh of Reno, NV. He purchased Impetuous recently and trailered her to Reno where he is working to bring her back into sailing condition. His comments and photos are below.

"My name is Rob Walsh and I have purchased the Yankee, Impetuous.  She has been seriously neglected for quite some time, and I have been seriously rebuilding her. One time I have to believe that she was one of the fastest of all Yankees.  But all the extra winches, cleats, rails, is all there for some serious racing. I do not believe that the serious racing is the direction that I want to go.  I bought her to do some serious cruising and  The extra cleating, rails, blocks, winches, instruments have seriously put some wounds in her.  And I have started to repair her from the holes that the additional rigging has put in her .  But as I explore into your web site and the pictures that you have in their I see that there is a few extra winches and soft rigging that could be a benefit.  I'm not sure how far I should restore her back to original?  And I was wondering if you, or someone that you may know could help me?  I know you are interested in pictures and follow-up of my restoration of her.  I have taken quite a few pictures along the way.  I have to believe that I will restore her to almost as good as new if not as good as new.  I enjoy labor of love and have put a lot of time and money into her.  I also have built a serious trailer for her.  I posted in your web site a letter of help to build a trailer, but got no reply.  Although I did track down Monte who had purchased the only trailer I saw for sale at one time.  He was more than willing to allow me to see it although I never did get out there.  I did end up on my own figuring out how to built a trailer to haul her  And without a glitch brought her from San Pedro to Reno, Nevada where I am rebuilding her.  I have been a cabinet maker all my life.  I am good with mechanical, painting, body repair and metal fabrication which helps me to bring this project back to life.  If you could help I would appreciate it."
