We are now well on our way to being fully repaired. The fiber glass experts at Santa Cruz yachts are doing a beautiful job. We will be hard pressed to tell just where that port tacker hit soon! We are in the process of refinishing the interior and picking out the new nonskid deck color. I'm trying to be OK with the fact that several features will be nicer than what I have on my own boat....

You know you want it. Call me and you can pick out your own colors and hardware package for a truly custom boat! Will 510-508-7231
