Description:
Great lil boat, Ill miss it - have another in the works so this one is for sale.
Sails like a dingy and has a little (barebones) cabin. Just back from a several month trip from NC to the Dominican Republic and back via the Bahamas - she did great in some nasty weather and on offshore passages etc.

I finished a year long refit of it about two years ago.
Lots of structural glass work that was/is overkill:
Ground down the antifoul and gelcoat below waterline and let dry for 8 months before re-glassing the bottom with epoxy and 17oz biaxial, then two part barrier coat and antifouling. Also glassed a new 3/4 main bulkhead and bonded the other bulkheads into the hull/liner/deck, and re-cored and glassed some parts of the deck. Now a very strong hull with no osmosis.

Other work included:
Re-rigging the boat with heat treated dyneema (oversized at ⅜ for cap shrouds and backstay)
Moving chainplates (bronze) to hull
Replacing old thru hulls with new flanged bronze seacocks on backing plates
Adding solar - a 100w panel, 100Ah lead acid battery and controller
Added a larger galley/counter with a giant SS sink to a seacock drain
The water tank is a removable 6 gallon jug with a bulb pump into the sink
Redid electrical (simple, but done well with marine wire and soldered connections, goes to simple fusebox/switches)
Repainted exterior with two part marine paint (hull is interlux perfection)
Added bowsprit to allow more sail area and reduce weather helm (very happy with it!)
Added a dodger, over companionway so you can stand under it while cooking.
...
Overall in great shape, just got back from a 4000 mile trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to head out again now. The sails and woodwork (toe rail, tiller) could do with some care and the interior is quite simple/rough but works well. Technically there are two berths but I've found that two people are only comfortable for a few days at a time. Composting bucket head with sawdust. The mattress is foam that I put a fitted sheet around.
Popular boat with active owners association.

Equipment:
Self steering windvane by Navic (works well once you know how to use it, has steered over 4000miles for me)
1 claw anchor (around 20lbs) on 20 of 5/16 g4 chain and 100 of rode, mounted on bowsprit
1 danforth anchor with 20 of 5/16 chain in cockpit locker (has chocks on foredeck as well)
Inflatable kayak and paddle/pump
working in-hull depth sounder
like new ritchie compass in cockpit
2 lifejackets
2 sm fender
Several docklines
4 jibs (2 large, one medium, one storm sm) - fair to poor condition
2 mainsails (two reefs in both) - fair condition
Fire extinguisher and smoke detector
**EXTRA $500 for the 5hp stroke mercury 2005 longshaft outboard** (old and a bit beat up but runs consistently and pushed the boat at 4 kts, can get 5kts in calm)
