All the basics, many extras. This is a no-frills serious ocean capable boat that has already been around the world. She needs cosmetics and maybe a few upgrades (if you so desire. She sails well, had her out 3 this summer)

As the list might show, she's is pretty well equipped. While she sails now (daysailing) she's certainly capable of much, MUCH more w/the right owner.

What does she need?. To daysail/weekend a bit of cleaning and hooking up of nav lights (all there wires just not run properly)
To bluewater sail?
The above + new sails, paint and whatever upgrades YOU would like.

She's a solid boat with a solid reputation
