The boat was brought to the yard under its own sails and power. The owner states that the Yanmar engine operates as expected and the sails have some life remaining.
The hull appears to be solid. It needs to be sanded, prepped, and repainted. There is some damage to the fiberglass ridge where the rub rail is located in a couple of places. The rub rail probably needs to be replaced.
The standing rigging, sheets, and lines are weather worn and should need to be replaced.
All of the woodwork on the boat needs to be refinished, including both hatch doors.
The interior is in fair condition. Cushions and upholstery probably need to be replaced. There are no obvious leaks and the interior is dry.
The engine, wiring, and tubing all look to be in good condition. The condition of the operating systems is unknown and should be inspected. It may be possible to run the Yanmar engine while in the boatyard but most of the systems probably can not be checked out while on the hard.
