"Joy"
197 Mariner 32, Hull#54
Owners: Vernon Bonnell - St. Thomas, USVI - USA
Hi, I have hull # 59. My name is Vernon
Bonnell and own a Mariner 32' . Joy is a 1972 Ketch and her port of call
is St. Thomas USVI. I purchased her in 04' and bit into it right away. There
was a cacophony of all types of rot and bad patch jobs. I lived on it right
away for almost a year. After going round and round myself trying to pitch
and patch , I decided to go 'all in' . The whole house and bridge along
with the cockpit were completely demo'd down to hull and bulkheads. Now,
a constant year of working , toe rails are ready to be bent and stancheons
are ready to be installed. The bowsprit was fitted the other day.. So ,
steady she goes.
My number is 850 288 9501 if anyone would like to talk 'Mariner'.
Thanks, Vernon Bonnell.
