History- I bought the boat in the Sea Of Cortez,and after a month of repairs(mostlyremoving
everthing that didn't work,including the motor)I sailed her down the mexican
coast as far as Barra De Navidad,then crossed over to Hawaii,and back to
the Pacific Northwest.While refitting her she suffered from a fire which
gutted the interior.So I rebuilt her making the changes I wanted,and have
been living aboard for the last three years.I never thought the project
would end,But I haven't worked on her for a solid year now.Its been pure
enjoyment.I love the boat.She is easy to sail short handed,moves in light
air,and is a comfortable home.
