Here is a preliminary report from memory. I am returning to the
boat late on Feb 20. Better info then.
Since the 1st ad was deleted, I will have to guess. Any help appreciated. Sorry to have made people angry, US$70,000.00-

One puzzle that we are wondering about
: People seemed to say that the
boat should be empty when the new buyer sees it. Having lived aboard her since 1990, and voyaging since 2001 – from Sequim, WA down to
Panama, across the Pacific, down to
New Zealand three times, up into the N Pacific, across to
Guam and the
Philippines, down to Jakarta, across the
Indian Ocean to
South Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope, and on to the
Caribbean with details available if interested. She has a lot of important spare
parts and miscellaneous boat bits on board. It seems silly to dispose of these important items, when any new owner that knows anything, will want them. Any thoughts on that? I am very fortunate that in 1969 my parents took me and my two younger brothers on a 5 year
circumnavigation aboard a 52' Rhodes
Ketch. I was 20 at the beginning of the trip.

Heidi has been traveling the world since 2001 while being carefully maintained since our lives depended on her. She has been our (my) only home since 1990.
Major projects:
abt 1999 replaced Stb
Samson post with purpleheart.
2000: new
engine (replaced
salt water cooled
Volvo 34 with the Beta before heading to tropics)
2001: new
rigging and
solar panels

lightning strike. Major
paint work, New awning and sail covers.
2003: Auxiliary

2005: New
wiring for
navigation lights (both masthead and pulpit), other
work on
mast including
paint.
2006: Replaced port diesel tank (black iron) with epoxy/glass and replumbed
fuel lines.
2007: Removed
bowsprit for caulking access, discovered some
rot and replaced the entire
bowsprit with kauri. Reglazed all port lights.
2008: New dinghy/outboard/chain - not much work done this year.
2009: replaced bow stem chain plates and inner fore stay after the former broke. Blister repair job (first sign of
blisters after 1990 job) including one new layer of glass and lots of painting, new awning (unfortunately not taken further up – there are
blisters above the water line now).
2010: 2 way
AIS added. New

2011: New life raft, new
EPIRB, new
docking lines, some new running
rigging
2012: New
wood for overhead in

interior paint and

wood work. New galley cabinet and
stove surround. Replaced 2 chain plates (aft shrouds - one showed hairline crack). Rebedding of forward haws holes.
2013: replaced mid chain plates, new chain. Forward chain plates (shrouds) still original.
2014: recaulking and refastening
teak deck. New engine damper plate. Port Sampson Post replaced with Ipé. New dinghy floor boards.
This list is from memory and is not all inclusive. Lots of additional smaller jobs have been done over the years and items added or replaced.
Sails are mostly from my brother-in-law's sail loft in
Germany - Diekow Segel. They are now making sails for the German Tall Ship, Gorch Fock.
Actual repairs due to failure have been relatively few thanks to the pro active work. These are all of the past failures over the years that come to mind. Leaking diesel
tanks (That one was replaced in 2006. The other (black iron) is beginning to leak.), the broken twin bow chain plates (as a result they were replaced in 2009), and auxiliary rudder shaft that bent when a bolt came loose. It was replaced in 2003.
Current projects include refastening the
deck. It has gradually gotten thinner over the years though it's still a half inch thick, so I need to finish setting the
teak plugs deeper. Restitch
mainsail cover, new slip covers (for upholstery). Future projects: Topside blisters and paint , replace stbd diesel tank.
Replace the last two old chain plates and perhaps the
genoa tracks.
