Gutted for initial rebuild (2002)


Only two bulkheads were not removed. The one visible forward of the engine and one at the photographer's location separating the pilot house from the main cabin.

Everything you see was then treated for rust, sealed and, if above the bilge, insulated.

In 2004 the engine was replaced and the exhaust replumbed from the mast to the stern.
