That's great. Should be quite an adventure. Keep us posted.
There's an excellent review here:

That may prove helpful as you prep for your trip. What size outboard did it come with?
Good luck with her!! |
I actually read that review before buying the boat. Currently this one has a 4hp outboard. After leaving the dock once, I'm really not sure it is needed on a regular basis. I'll keep the outboard and run it occasionally, but sailing out and into a slip was amazingly easy in good weather.
It is very bare at the moment. Zero extras besides spare sails and
anchor. I'm staying at a marina for at least the first month to get comfortable with the boat, and do some below deck changes.
I am keeping a blog of sorts, though it has been dead while boat shopping, at
http://tompscanlan.blogspot.com/. As I go, I'll try to keep that updated, even if I can't gush on sailnet about the fun I'm having
