Update: US 90 Irene is For Sale. Phil and Mark Conger acquired IRENE from Eugene Beebe who owned and raced Irene 15 to 20 races every year for more than 50 years. Phil and Mark began racing on Irene in 1968 and are now looking for a new caretaker. The boat is a project, but her lines and pedigree unmistakable. Irene's restoration is about half complete with 78 new white oak steam bent ribs installed. Most stainless steel floors and the chain plates are all bolted in and the entire inside mahogany hull has been wooded and sealed with varnish. Planking needs to be finished up and the deck replaced. Included is a sleeved 2 piece aluminum mast and boom and extra sitka spruce boom. Irene's build date qualifies her to race 2nd design rule races as well as all Classic races. Lying in Port Huron. Asking price $4,500. Tandem axle road trailer is available $1,200. Custom hydraulic 4 post cradle to lift a 6 meter off a trailer $1,000.
