Deck is solid. Bottom has been maintained. New canvas needed for the cockpit helm and midship entrance. All stainless-steel fittings top deck are hefty solid and in good shape. The running rigging design can be handled with a shorthanded crew. Which in rough seas can reduce stress on the crew.

Fred Madlener designed and built the sailboat in Hawaii over a 12-year period. His binder with the instructions for each of the systems is included. He even included a page in it that shows where to reef the sails under different wind speeds. Based on the way this was built and the girth to it. This can be a very tempting boat.
