Sailing and Earning On Line As You Go.

Stone Age. Built in 1973, she is a ferro cement hull and deck with glass over ply superstructure.  Solid lifelines and very safe.  For those that are scared of Ferro Cement boats, she was built professionally by the Nanaimo Foundry, Nanaimo, BC, Canada.  Solid as a rock.  Literally.  The hull will far outlast me.    She is 60' LOA with a 53' waterline.  14.5' wide and carries a 9' sea draft and 72 foor air draft.  She weighs out at just over 78,000 pounds dry, 84,000 pounds wet.  (Full tanks and ready to cruise)  She has twin Mercedes Diesels in her that are 1963 vintage.  Older than I am..  :-)  They have been very good engines, but are in need of replacement.  They still run and move the boat, but only at about 4 knots before they overheat.  It is time for new ones.   She carries almost 2100 square feet of sail with Genoa, Staysail and Main up.  Add the spinnaker and there is another 1800...
