QR Code Link to This Post
Always the prettiest boat in the the cove. And one of the most solidly built. Classic Phillip Rhodes design. Nimble and seaworthy.
Overall good condition. Interior clean and bright. Has the 'dinette' layout. Comfortably sleeps 4.
New hull paint (Flag blue) and epoxy primer and bottom paint in 2023.
Deck non-skid in places could use sanding and replacement . No soft spots.
Boat has been in the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands for the past 30-40 years. Was owned by one family for most of that time.
Has been a great daysailer and cruiser in the Sound.
I bought this boat a year ago and haven’t found the time to get away and actually sail her as I live in Alaska and work summers (the best sailing weather).
Repowered with Universal diesel 3 cylinder 25hp. Runs well. Has never let me down.
Modern high quality fiberglass dinghy 8.5ft with oars and sailing rig (never used) w/ airtight bulkheads.
New Jib from Bellingham Sails in 2024
Roller furling.
Genoa repaired/new UV cover in 2023
Main in good usable condition.
New control lines/halyards ready to install.

New running rigging 2025
NOTE:
The boat in currently located in Squalicum on a sublease so would need to be moved upon purchase.
