Hi John, I visited this boat in Detroit last year when I was
searching for a 34/36. The boat looks good from on the ground looking up at it
on the hard but have you actually been aboard? The former owner was a terrific
gentleman but the boat has had just about zero maintenance since he acquired it
in the late 90's. Many leaks inside which caused stains on the ceiling that I
couldn't rub off with Vim and a stiff bristle brush. The fibreglass sandwich
between the portlights on the starboard side has separated and cracked open all
around. After visiting I had put together a list of musts for me and once I
exceeded 50 grand Canadian on top of purchasing the boat I gave up on it. My
list included painting the deck, new sails, upholstery, electronics, running
rigging, etc. It certainly can be a good boat again and if the
purchase price was low enough it certainly could be worthwhile. As for me I
found it to be too much of a project boat to be worth my while.
