This excellently maintained, Bill Lapworth-designed classic sloop has served our family of five since 1978, sailing around Vancouver Island and up the BC Coast numerous times. Alas, these last few years she’s been seldom used, so we are selling her. The vessel is equipped to make cruising comfortable and safe: oversized Furlex jib roller-furling, heavy duty stainless rigging, excellent sails, 20 hp Volvo MD2B diesel inboard (re-built by Gartside Marine of Sidney in 2008, just 950 hours since then), 10kg Bruce anchor, spare (Danforth) anchor, Maxwell electric windlass, collapsible dodger, transom-mounted boarding ladder, sound bronze thru-hulls, propane stove with oven, gas BBQ, new Jabsco head, holding tank, autohelm, gps/depth-sounder/ship-to-shore VHF, full night-running lights, life-safety gear, fibreglass Davidson 9ft dinghy. Bottom recently scrubbed, zincs checked, engine annual check and servicing completed (by Gartside), so she’s ready to take off. Lying Maracaibo docks, Long Harbour, Salt Spring Island. $16,000.
