The Boat is well equipped but will need a lot of work even though she is less than 20 years old. She has a lot of rust, with holes in the swim platform, on the deck and around the salon windows. She is currently dry docked in St-Paul-de-l'ile-aux-Noix, in Quebec, Canada very close to Champlain lake NY. She was originally named Purusha, then OneLove. We will rename her in due time...
She is our third boat, the first one being another centerboard sloop, this one 37ft fiberglass named Kivioq that we redid from keel to masthead. It was a beautiful 2 years of work to get her back in the water after 12 years; and we sailed her for 6 afterwards, including 5 of living aboard. She's now in St-François lake, near Montreal, where she's part of Premier Vent sailing school after sailing up from Florida in 7 days!
Then there was Budwig, a montgomery 17, designed by the famous Lyle Hess, that we towed around the US behind our truck for a year. What a great boat!
