So now Tulla is on the hard for the next 8 weeks get all fix up, new deck, wood work and paint! take a look...

I don't know who this is, but the look is "DON'T MESS WITH TULLA"

Deck all cleaned off, sure a lot of work just to get here!

Now all the side cleaned off...

So now some guy walks by with a chain saw!!! good thing we had a guard...

 Dig deeper, taking the deck off...

and back on...

time for some glass...

and so Scott finished up the decks and painted the sides, bottom and inside and then sold Tulla to me a year or so later. Now we start with me and the work we will do in my shop...

Ok, here is a little more of TULLA'S past. The paper work i received from the last seller has Kermit Parker back in 1976 selling the boat from Bruce Krefting to Ken Economy. Take a look at the statements...

and also the closing statement...

and the selling price $6710.00 USD not too bad for 14 year old boat almost doubling the cost from new!
So now the next paper work i have is a appraisal report that has Finn Jorgensen selling the Tulla to the City of Oakland back in 1997 and was used by the Lake Merritt Boating Center. I'm not sure how much the boat was sold for at that time.
The City of Oakland kept Tulla until 2-17-2010 and Tulla was in bad shape at that time... so it was auctioned off to the highest bidder... and the winner was Scott Wall for only $ 100.00 USD, wow from a beauty that she once was, to the poor shape Tulla was left in. I give Scott a lot vision for seeing what Tulla could be with a lot of hard work to make Tulla the beauty she is... here is what he started with!

He sailed Tulla from Oakland to SF to be hauled out, they said that he should not sail Tulla, because it would not make it... but Tulla made it!

This folkboat started life in Denmark and was built buy Brandt-Moller . Baadebyggeri in March 3 1962
here is the origenal invoice.

The first owner was Mr. Jesper Strandgard of Mill Valley, Ca. USA and the cost at that time was $3526.00 USD!
I dont know how long Mr. Strandgard had owened US 86 but someone knows...
Here also is the confirmation from Royal Danish Yacht Club that the folkboat was built to all the rules and materials.

Restoring US 86

Here we have a folkboat "TULLA" US 86 that i bought on Craig's list last December with the idea of fixing her up a maybe race! So let the fun begin.
