Here is an update from the owner.

Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate the favor. One note is that only the staysail, trysail, & storm jib are new in 2004. The main is spectra and was added somewhere around 2001 or so. A 110 was new about 1996. The 135 was a couple years older than that I think, but I don't know the exact date. Not only the electronics were renewed in 2004, but so very much more, from all standing and running rigging, carbon fiber whisker pole, cutter rig with detachable head stay for staysail, windlass, extra fuel tank, electric head, sat phone, HF/SSB, VHF (both are ICOM), Pactor email, 6 man SAR Switlick life raft, Monitor steering, Nexus Auto Pilot with new Linear Drive, Aluminum bottom inflatable dinghy, Spectra 16 gph water maker, satellite phone, SS Radar Arch, solar panels, Wind Generator, New Bose Speakers, Extra Genoa & Main Halyards, inflatable kayaks, folding bikes, many electronic charts, increased house batter bank by 50%, added separate start battery & Ample Power Isolator Eliminator (to separately charge start battery, and many things added between 1996 and 2004 such as the Treadmaster deck, new coring in all parts of the deck, etc., etc. New additions just in last month: new refrigeration, new batteries (10 of them), fresh bottom paint.
