Surveyor reports April 2023;
"I find this vessel to be in very good structural, mechanical and cosmetic condition. If this vessel is given proper care and maintenance in the future, as it has in the past, it should provide many more years of service. The boat has recently undergone a major refit of systems, finishes and interior including a new laid teak deck over the winter/spring/summer of 2017/2018 at the Gannon and Benjamin Boatyard in Vineyard Haven, MA. The boat is very close to new construction in every respect."
