I finally saw her on Sunday. There's a bit more work than I had pictured through my 'rose-colored glasses' but no heartaches. The refit fun begins. Proud to be a bottom feeder! Thanks for the post.

After a while, they go from "bottom feeder" status to "classic" or "antique" status, and their romance and cachet starts to rise again. Just gotta be patient ... and isn't patience somethings all we sailors have to have in order to get into this sailing thing to begin with?

Sure she might be a little dated and doesn't have the bells and whistles of a new boat, but she works for us. Great post!
