Hi all,
Unless something major happens between now and Friday, we are the proud owners of our new home, a 2003 Beneteau 473! It’s the 2-cabin version and we are already obsessed with her.

The purchase has been surprisingly smooth. We were planning on waiting until September to start looking, but while we were helping a friend painting the hull of his boat we found her. I guess that's Karma?

We were lucky to find a good buyer’s broker and a great surveyor (although time will tell of course!).

The only major changes recommended from the survey was a new water pump">raw water pump, re-bed a couple of hatches, and replace the float switch for the bilge pump. That doesn't sound bad!

Hopefully, we’ll start sailing our way back from Mystic, CN to Boston this summer.
