It is understood that this vessel had all new sterngear in 2001, and that her standing rigging was replaced in 1999. About 70% of her running rigging has also been replaced. Some work, mainly cosmetic, is required. This is a large boat, and one that, with some work to complete her refit, could be a really worthwhile cruising home.
