*** New bottom job! Drove her from Solomon’s to Edgewater 8 hrs at 5.5 kts ran like a top ***
If you like the following this boat is NOT FOR YOU
1. Worrying about shrouds and stays, their maintenance and upkeep, and how much a rigger will charge to check and fix
2. Jib sheets lacerating your body in a blow
3. Plugged scuppers sinking your boat
4. OMG whats that fouling my rudder?
If you like relaxed sailing and worry free ownership well she's FOR YOU!
