The mast is a double spreader bendy straw with running backstays.
It was a race rocket with all the sail controls you could imagine.
Dual racing foil
Adjustable under load jib cars
Adjustable baby stay
Spinnaker Tweakers
Rod Rigging.
6 ft draft lead keel
New Tiller Pilot.
New Electric Windlass
New Refrigeration.
Sails were a little tired (18+ years old).
However, the inside was terrible, much of the wood would need refinishing.
Open V-Birth (or AFTER BIRTH)
Aft cabin is small.
Head is small.
Headliner would all have to be replaced, as well as ALL the cushions.
Not much storage.
Admiral did not like the insides.
Cockpit is VERY small.
No wind instrument
Kinda wierd, a raceboat with an electric windlass, fridge, and TV antenna?
I think the boat is overpriced at $35k for the amount of work it needs.
In the spring, he was asking $40k!
Went for lunch at NYC; very nice.
Tons of boats going thru the western gap.
Saw a tall ship come sailing by:
Got back around 4pm, and headed right out for a sail.
Winds were from the NW around 12 knots.
Full main and 110, but quickly reefed the main.
What a great sail! Six knots the entire way to Frenchman's Bay.
Tied up and went to grab a quick bite at the Waterfront restaurant there, but the lineup was too big. Went to the chip truck and got some fries. Drooled on the new Catalina 355s that Swans Yacht Sales had, as well as the C&C 99.
Also saw a family of swans:
Left a little after 8pm, wind dying a little.
When our speed got below 2.5 knots, we dropped the jib and motorsailed the rest of the way, arriving @WYC a little after 10pm
