Bob Parks' Rebuild of a 1959 Sande Ace
Hull Number: 2594 (4th Ace built in February, 1959)



Here's an Ace that had been stored for some time outside under failing tarps.  It would take considerable work but Bob's family had a Sande Ace in the 1950s at Nelson's Cove on Bald Point, Hood Canal and he was well-motivated for the project.

This picture of Bob's starting point is much too flattering!
