Equipment: All halyards are to base of the mast and are simply rigged. All sheets run to cockpit and are also simple rigged. Main halyard on 4:1 block attached to traveler behind the tiller post, very easy to sheet in and out and no need for a winch. Jib sheets run over small winches on cockpit combing with traditional bottom slot winch handles (no lines wrapped on winch handles!) Interior: Just over 6-foot standing headroom in galley/chart table/companionway (or unlimited with companionway sliding hatch open), with slightly lower headroom in saloon and forward. V-birth sleeps two comfortably, main saloon benches pull together to form a large double bed. The boat comes with a traditional, front opening door. Ice box removed because it doesnt hold ice very long on multi-day cruises (just isnt insulated that well) and use a cooler in its place. DC compressor fridges are available that would fit the space nicely (rather large area for the size of the boat). Bronze port windows through-out. Hatch over V-birth. No leaks. Its an old boat and obviously has little projects to tinker with here and there, but you can start the motor with the push of a button, or pull the sails up and go. Canvas will need update but is functional. Its a classic yacht and we get compliments and turn heads everywhere we go! Minor cosmetic blemishes document its 53 years of service in fun (not a museum or sitting idle in a collectors slip). Sorry to be selling, but purchased a 39.
