Passion for sailing in eight minutes. This is exuded by the video we show you, in which an enthusiast finds an old Mustang 22, a 1973 boat designed as a racing daysailer. He falls in love with the “clunker,” buys it for $600 and, with elbow grease, restores it to its former glory. The video documents the working stages up to launching and sailing.
