Disclaimers/Real Talk/Expectation Management:

She is a true bluewater cruiser. Lots of boats claim this even though they've been sitting, atrophying in some yard for years and are nowhere near ready. I'm confident in saying she is voyage ready. However, she is not in PERFECT condition.

Topside paint is a little scruffy. Six years ago, she looked fantastic, but we've been cruising hard for years now. The hull has some scratches, oxidization, and scuffs. She could really use a thorough polish or paint. The mast and boom paint also have some areas that need attention.

As you can see from the video, the cabin sole and interior woodwork are not in perfect condition. When we purchased the boat, it had carpet. We quickly realized that wasn't going to work, so we stripped the carpet and painted the floor. The floor is a bit scruffy. The interior woodwork in many places is still absolutely gorgeous. In a few others, the veneer is crumbling and doesn't look very nice.

She has a couple little battlefield repairs here and there, but nothing serious, for example I rewired lighting in the forward head so my kids can turn the light on. Another example is the ESC not working on the generator, so I installed a knob and cable system to actuate the throttle. The system just needs a new potentiometer, but that's past me.

All in all, she is a great boat at what we believe is a competitive price. Everything on this boat that we have covered, ACTUALLY WORKS, unless otherwise stated. We hope someone will buy her and continue to show her the world for a long time.
