Good Day,
I will be gladglad to see someone that doesn't expect to buy a boat for nine grand, jumps in and sail around the world the next day! For the price; grocires are not included for your year long cruise :) as stated in the post it does need some work

• The engine must be reinstalled: I had ordered the wrong seal (ordered complete kit 4/15) so it didn’t get done this week. The main oil seal did get replaced but I had figured on doing the transmission seal also. Overfilling of engine oil caused this problem. Otherwise engine runs. It has 165Hrs on it. I will help or arrange for a mechanic to do this for you.
• The holding tank is plumbed with PVC pipe instead of hose: While seemingly minor this could lead to a very smelly mess! The hose is 2.25 a foot it will require apx.26ft. this would be a good time to put a proper Three Way Valve for overboard discharge.
• There is no 12 volt water pump: it was rusted and was removed and never replaced. There is dockside water hook up that I use. The hot water heater needs new hose clamps but works good as does the sink and shower.
The rest is mainly cosmetics. I have been stripping old varnish a little at a time and either oiling or painting it white. The boat was repainted and refinished apx.4 years ago by previous owner who used cheapest available paint. Most needs redone.
Boat has not been hauled and scraped in at least three years.
• Like new main and jib
• Very good Genoa
• Good Drifter and Mizzen (mizzen has cal 25 insignia sewed on otherwise would be very good)
• Spare main, jib and mizzen are in poor to repairable.
• Three or four misc sails (original?)That would make OK tarps.
Spars are in very good shape with new Mizzen Boom: all spars have been painted white with many scratches and scraped paint.
Four rivets on Stbd main spreader plate need replaced (ratcheting 36” riveter and rivets are onboard- requires two persons there is brand new West marine professional bosuns chair)
Mizzen has been rerigged recently with stay-loc fittings: triadic needs hooked in.
Winches are all in good working order: two on mast and two in cockpit
Running rigging shows signs of age.
The boat though, can be sailed away, I’ve been using the dinghy when I need to get it in/out of the slip, since I tow it behind anyway it isn’t much trouble.
It is for sale due to wife and baby moving in. it would be great for four people as a weekender or two as liveaboard, a seven year old and a baby are a little bit much!
Thanks,
Gregory P

Updated station list
... Minimum temperatures recorded in the Florida Keys this morning...
In wake of a powerful cold front which passed through the area
Tuesday evening... very cold air affected the Florida Keys overnight.
Here are some preliminary minimum temperatures from throughout the
Keys this morning.
... Minimum temperatures...
Station min temp (f)
------- ------------
Key West International Airport 45
Key West National Weather Service office 45
Key West Naval Air Station/Boca Chica 45
Cudjoe Key/spotter report 44
Ramrod Key/Florida Keys aqueduct authority 42
key Deer wildlife Refuge/Big Pine Key 43
Bahia Honda State Park coop 42
Marathon Airport 43
Vaca Key/Burnt Point 44
Curry hammock State Park coop 41
Duck Key/spotter report 41
Long Key/Florida Keys aqueduct authority 40
Upper Matecumbe Key/weatherflow station 39
Tavernier coop 38
John Pennekamp State Park coop 36
south Key Largo/weatherflow station 37
North Key largo Handar 38
The 45 degree minimum temperature at Key West International Airport
broke the record for the date... which was previously 46 degrees set
on January 3rd 1898. It was the first 45 degree reading in Key West
since January 24 2003... and only the second such reading since
February of 1996. The temperature in Key West has fallen below 45
degrees on only 11 occasions since temperature records began in
1872... and on only three occasions since world War two. The last
time the temperature fell below 45 degrees was on December 24th
1989... when the minimum temperature was 44 degrees.
