There is a dodger that comes with the boat, but the canvas and isinglass needs replacement. There is also an awning. Other features include a custom aluminum tiller, a two blade 16 x 15 fixed prop and a two blade 16 x 14 folding Martec prop, man overboard pole and ring, new sail cover, two Danforth anchors with chain and rode, and a hawse pipe forward for the bow anchor and anchor locker.
