Description

Owner's Notes
- Steel insulated internally throughout with spray foam up to 2”.
- Foam in main bilge spaces removed 2017/2018.
- Lots of storage. Vessel is fast for its size/mass.
- Seen passages averaging 6.5 knots in moderate winds
- Vessel had a minor fire on board (previous owner, 2016) due to charging failure of lithium battery device
- Cosmetic (plastics, fabrics, wood) damage repaired/replaced as necessary
- Head sail and main sail went missing over years of Covid. Currently fitted with small main and jib - these need to be replaced/renewed.
- Rudder post (stuffing box) has stiffened up over covid - expect overhaul is required prior to sailing.
- Gear shift cable is usable, but needs to be replaced
- Steel replacement (sections of keel plate, sections of bilge, sections of deck, sections of cockpit, etc.) work by Chaguaramas Metal Works (Chaguaramas, Trinidad)
