Yacht Update

We have taken another leap forward towards ownership of a sailing vessel.

Well, the survey and rig inspection have been completed and the vessel was found to be in good condition and the rig in need of some attention. The simple fix is that the current owner is going to replace the sea cocks and have the rig dye tested and effect repairs as necessary.

On the plus side the boat comes with a swag of extras of which most will probably never get used. Like the 5 spinnakers, 7 head sails and the IRC extension for spinaker pole. Liz has made me promise no racing in this boat unless it is a social race.

The bonus is that the yacht has the following equipment that will be useful:

      • 2 Anchors, the main with 100m chain
      • Inner forestay that was factory fitted
      • 24nm radar
      • Separate track for the storm trisail (hopefully never needed)
      • HF radio with DSC
      • Separate 100amp comms battery
      • 2 alternators
      • Autopilot
All going well with the repairs, we will be boat owners very soon.
