Motor
- Johnson 6 hp long-shaft outboard in very good shape w/tank - starts
on first or second pull.
|
|
Notice stern Mast Crutch and Rudder both mounted.
|
Structural Improvements:
- Completely refinished bottom of boat in 2004 with several coats of
epoxy barrier coat and VC17 bottom paint ( Select this link to see what he did.)
- Reinforced lower part of mast step under V-berth
- Added extra fiberglass around CB trunk strengthen that area (I had
no problems with it, but it seemed to flex a little bit and I know
that can be a problem area for center-board boats).
- Custom rear mast holder including two stainless steel brackets
mounted next to rudder gudgeons. You can have the rudder assembly in
place at the same time as the mast which is very convenient.
|
Interior Pictures:
- I fiberglassed in four small wood blocks on the sides of the v-berth
to hang monkey hammocks from.
- Cleaned and refinished all the interior wood with teak oil
- Installed stereo system in 2006 - has AM/FM/Weather bands and a CD
player. Also has an input jack for MP3 players. Two boat speakers in
the cockpit. Sounds very good. Custom mounted in cabin over the larger
quarter berth - looks nice.
- Added several holders and hooks on the cockpit wall in the cabin. We
have a place for our cell phone, handheld VHF, GPS, lighter for stove,
wallet, keys, reefing lines, etc.

Additional Improvements:
- Completely new wiring in 2003. I added a four switch panel, a
battery disconnect switch, new running lights, and an LED cabin light.
- New main sail cover in 2003 (green)
- Custom-fit cockpit cushions in 2005 (green)
- Added a stainless steel folding transom ladder in 2005. To do this,
I added a new 6" access port in the transom and used an epoxy-coated
plywood sheet as a backer plate. The ladder is very sturdy.
- Installed four stanchions and rope lifelines in 2004. The stanchions
all have custom stainless steel backing plates and are bolted in place
- very sturdy. Great for the kids who like to ride on the bow.
- Added four new cam cleats in 2003 and 2004. All have stainless
backing plates or stainless backing washers. Two are on the cabin top
for the 100% jib and two swivel cam cleats were added in 2004 for the
150% genoa and spinnaker
- All-new SS rigging from Rigging Only in 2005 - with quick adjuster
on forestay for fast set-up and excellent turnbuckles on the
sidestays. Much nicer than the system with pegs and holes that came
with Anduin.
- Added a Force 10 Seacook stove to the cockpit - we use it when
camping. Works great. (will have photos of this)
- an anchor with chain and rode
- a 1.5' tiller extender (homemade with a dinghy universal joint and PVC pipe),
- boat fenders

Additional equipment included:
- Porti potti in excellent condition
- Three year old fire extinguisher that I mounted in the cabin.
The FUN is for FREE.
New Cockpit Cushions.
