This looks nice, and would you be haven any pictures of the inside of her?
Sure would be nice to see those.
Side question,-,, Is this up in Washington State?

Dave,

Crystal blue is NOT my boat, but she is on the dock to the north of me here in Edmonds. I do see the couple that own the boat, and try to get her to repost the end results, but alas, she has not done so. I was at the marina monday, and there in front of me was a perfect opportunity to take a pic with her new deck/hull paint job as of last july 08.

Compared to the first picx when the boat was picked up, she is looking good. I was hoping that maybe with a how she looks pic, folks would quite doing the how to fix her up! Then again, some will look at the OP, not look at the other 70 something posts and realize she has been fixed up!

She can be seen on the F dock from shore. Usually there is a pilot house Valient in the way.

Anyway, what-do-ya-know, I finily found my S/V Faithful Girl, in west Seattel. Hope all goes well. thanks for the bounce

Marty she is in my avatar

[blt2ski]

OKAY!
I was thinking you were talking about an older boat yet that you had yrs ago!

She is a pretty boat. I like the spin with the clover leaf on it! That must be one of the Portland bridges in the back ground then? Was thinking a LW floater, but brain said, no, that looks more Columbia river'ish.

Are you part of the Misty group in the cascadia email list?



Marty

[captdave57]

Yes that is right, the bridge in the distance is the I-205, over the Columbia River.
Thanks for the complement on my boat,, she is a bit old but ya gota love the older ones. The real wood (teak) and holly soul, The warmth that the salon has. and no blisters at all. The long fin keel and the big dagger rudder give her great responce, style and control. I like her a lot, and sail'r often.
