Saturday, March 26, 2011. Now that these words are posted, photos will follow soon to show you what a great sail boat we had. In the meantime, these might tide you over.

http://compass38.blogspot.com/2011/03/sailing-performance.html

With light number one genoa and full mainsail set she also ghosts along quite comfortably in light and fluky breezes. Is light and well balanced.

To give a light and airy atmosphere below decks, furniture was made from white laminate over ply with teak and iroko trim. Layout is standard, as per the plan. Cushion covers...
