Summary:

This boat is now 33 years old and registered as an "Antique Vessel" in the State of Florida.

On October 6th, 2008 she went into the yard for minor maintenance and bottom painting. (The bottom was extensively repaired in Sept 2006. At that time she had three (3) coats of Petit Vivid anti-fouling paint (West Marine #5917737 - Red) applied. Red then White then Blue (to help determine when she needs paint again.) The water line is just starting to show "red" and so I figured that now was a good time to add two more coats of RED to her bottom (probably 3 at water line).

The trip to the boat yard (37 miles) took a flat 8 hours. We averaged 4.8 knots and used 5 gallons of diesel. Engine RPM was 1,800 to 2,300 depending on tides and winds. No overheating problems and with water temps in mid 80's this is good (temp runs 180 degrees).

The bilge is very dry (well, about 2 inches of water sits there and pump runs only when I turn it on manually (never comes on otherwise - doesn't leak enough to run on automatic).

The boat was purchased 3/22/2005.

Westerbeke 30HP. She always starts! I never add oil between changes. She doesn't smoke.

Head sail is (VG) Genoa (130+). Main sail is older but and has been repaired twice (blew out a few battens in some high winds). All stitching reviewed (Quantum Sails, Sarasota, FL). All new battens. Dodger in good shape. (Not kept on boat).  

Roller furler is Harken.
