In 1994 we purchased S/V Moondancer, then known as S/V Far
Ranger. In 1996 we hauled S/V Moondancer out of the water, where we spent the next 8 years doing a complete
refit. The original
teak decks were removed and all
wood was replaced, fiberglassed and painted with all-grip and non-skid.
At that time, the toe rails, life lines and all
rigging was replaced.
All through holes were replaced.
New
Fuel tank was custom built.
A new
Yanmar engine was installed, with new gauges, harness and
wiring.
The haul,
mast and decks were painted.
The
interior was completely redone with new
cushions,
paint,
refrigerator,
stove and hot water
heater. More
storage cupboards were installed.
In 2007 new main, mizzen and
jib sails were purchased, as well as a new
roller furling installed.
Other upgrades were:
2009 new
refrigerator
2012 new
electric toilet
2012 new
water pump
