In the yard

I purchased Sunny on February 19th 2009. In the weeks prior to that the previous owner and I got her ready for the water. The surveyor found some relatively minor problems like some cracked plastic and even a more serious one like a crack in a chainplate.
In case your wondering the chainplates attach to wires that hold up the mast so they are pretty important. :) The one pictured here was on the stern.

The previous owner Mike replaced the chainplate and pretty much painted the bottom of the boat by himself. From the sounds of it the paint was pretty noxious so I did not miss out much by not being there to inhale fumes.



Here is a picture of the boat up on the stands in the work area.

Thats Mike up on the boat doing something.











Here are a couple of videos of the travel lift moving the boat out of the work area and into the water.







Here is a picture of the interior from the cockpit.

The stove is tucked in there beside the sink. You can't see it in the picture. There is also an icebox beside the stove.
