We made quite a few modifications and improvements.
- We minimized number of seacocks to 3 (out of 10) – one for the seawater intake, one for the galley, which doubles as a port cockpit scupper drain, and one for the second cockpit scupper drain. There are two above waterline thruhulls – one for manual bilge pump (Gusher 10) and one for electrical bilge pump (RuleMate 1100)
- We converted the quarter-berth into another locker accessible from the cockpit, replaced all gaskets on lockers and made special drains for cockpit settees
- Added heavy-duty rail SS316L guard-rail for the stove (Force 10 four-burner) and the pots stay put even in bad weather. In really bad weather we cook in a pressure cooker.
- 2x 5kg Worthington aluminum horizontal gas bottles on deck with single high pressure hose leading down to the boat. Fittings for easy gas decanting.
- Walker bay 8′ with sailing rig
- Rigging:
- all chainplates and standing rigging replaced using Sta-Lok 1×19 7mm 316L wire and Sta-Lok terminals
- previous owner added a strong 3’ stainless-steel bowsprit and a roller furling genoa. This allows for extremely easy wing and wing setup for downwind passages. The genoa is a real workhorse.
- There is an inner forestay for hank on sails: light genoa for light winds and short tacking and reefing jib, which doubles as a storm jib. There’s another spare jib.
- Halyards lead to the cockpit. This is great for single-handlers or your partner who can remain in the safety and comfort of the cockpit during the sail changes.
- Only hank-on jib halyard ends at the mast, which makes it easy for the crew handling the jibs to control the sail. Occasionally we have used also a downhaul for the jibs, which makes pulling the sails down in strong winds safer.
- We have ordered new large mainsail, with extended roach, as well as very light hank-on genoa. Both sails provide extra power and make short tacking in light winds very enjoyable.
