Other Details
We have always used water-based multiseason ablative bottom paint, so no intensive sanding will be necessary before launching. Simply scrape any loose bottom paint and reapply a simlar ablative, if you'll be sailing in salt water. Lake sailors won't need to touch the bottom paint, though eventually may want to remove what's there and put on something more "slick" (like VC Performance Epoxy).
Lots of time, love, and money have been put into this boat during our ownership, though there's still more to do. The water system needs to be brought back into service (new tubing from vee-berth mounted tank to sink amidship), and the old through-hull from the previous head could be removed and the opening filled so that the platform on which the porta-pottie is mounted may be lowered. As with any older boat, there are some deck leaks when it rains, though they are far less prevalent when the boat's on a mooring and thus facing into the wind.

How much?
We all know the economy has hit the secondary boat market very hard. Two years ago, I wouldn't have hesitated to list this boat around $6000. We are motivated to sell, because we're off sailing our new boat, but as it costs us nothing to store the boat in our yard we're not under any time pressure. We expect to fetch a reasonable price, though we are willing to negotiate.
So, make us a reasonable offer and see what we say! UPDATE: Satori is sold, as of Fall 2011. Well, not sold, but donated to charity, then sold by the charity, and is now at her new home in western Maine. |
