Experience:
Born in Mystic Ct. I have sailed since the age of 8. I'm 43 now. My waif Monica and I have lived aboard for 7 years. We have sailed this boat 3 times to the Bahamas. I am a USCG lisensed Marine Engineer. I am also a Captain in the US Navy.

Boat Review/Upgrades:
Boat is very sound. I plan to keep it for years. Solid coastal crusier we feel very confortable taking it for extended trips offshore. High headroom is a plus. Big brearths, large enclosed cockpit. This boat makes a wonderful live aboard. Origional 140 gallon plastic Fresh Water tanks are still doing well, Some 40's have aluminium water tanks which don't work as well. My origional 75-80 gallon fuel tank is still tight, many endeavours without generators had lead stacked against them and they have since rotted out. Hurth transmission is great, we swing a 3 blade prop. I have made some modifications, such as adding a washer/dryer. The boat also has A/C, dehumidifier, usual electonics, windless, etc.
