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.
