Bob adds, " ... She was named and
still is the Spirit. On her aft she has a ghost like lady and on her main
sails. She is the same as purchased in 1981 with a wheel steering.
She has no osmosis, however, the hull was sanded and coated with 5 coats of VC
tar, just in case. Some interior damage due to leaking port, which have
been replaced. She has sailed out of
Chicago
Monroe
Harbor
until 1993 at which time she became resident of
New
Buffalo
Harbor
. 3 winters we bubble in the harbor next to our townhouse, the third she
is hauled out for repainting the hull. New sails North Sails in 1997 which
are in fine condition. It is mostly day sailing."
"Note the wood teak slats on the fore
deck. Got tired of having my feet go out from under on the wet for deck
..."
