I've owned this boat Andromeda for 3 years, I've used it well. Sailed from Adelaide to port Lincoln, to Tasmania, been a true adventure, I've done one major antifoul in that time and repairs needed, time to sell and move to next project, needs some work, like all boats it's also a project, but overall good hull got us here in all conditions safely. In Stanley atm waiting for weather to Launceston.
Rigging is plus ten years, have trouble heading into the wind as it's past point of tention, 1 stay has minor damage, been temp repaired. Engine needs new prop, top speed under engine is 3knots without current. Perfect boat for river as is, suit work for ocean use in future. I have number 1 jib, genaka, Genoa, two mains and two storm jibs all in usable condition.
