    Talking

    Thanks guys! I can't tell you how thrilled I am!

    I will be heading up to Belfast, Maine sometime at the end of the month to sail the boat down to Portland with the current owner. He is a very nice fellow who has owned the boat himself for only three years - before that, he and his wife were full-time cruisers in the Caribbean. You can bet I'll be picking his brain all the way down the coast! But, he has obviously taken good care of the boat. Sadly, however, the survey came back with deck problems, so I'm afraid there is a recore job in my near future.

    Now for some more pictures...

    Bow shot as I saw her last Fall. The unsuspecting little guy under the boat doesn't realize he's about to be shanghaied and swabbing decks before he knows what happened!

    The interior is nice and clean! The wood is in great shape with some nice modifications by PO's, like the companionway steps here...

    Another nice touch - these are built inside each of the cockpit lockers to separate the locker contents and the engine compartment.
