The secret to achieving this magic blend lies in the unstinting use of displacement and ballast page 182. He also notes that these boats are roomy, fast, stiff, and track well.This boat can go sailing now, but it is due for a bottom job, and the mast-step needs to be reinforced. there is also minor damage to salon sole, battery charger is relatively new, but doesnt seem to be working. There is a mystery rain leak in the quarter berth areaSerious inquiries onlythat means that you have the finances in place now and that you will arrange for insurance and a slip. Im too busy to talk with, or show the boat to, dreamers or hull-thumpers.
