  1. Vintage leeboards and bracket for a classic sailing canoe
  2. $150
  6. Damairiscotta (mid-coast) Maine
  7. They look like the type manufactured by Old Town however the bracket is adjustable so the assembly would likely fit a number of makes and models. There are a few small cracks probably from the wood drying over the decades. Otherwise, the boards are in good shape and will look great with some TLC.
