Sails, Spars and Rigging

Schooner rigged
Galvanised standing rigging
Mainsail reefing
Sails are all Lee Sails in Brown Dacron and over 10 years
The standing rigging is all galvanized. It is the same as when I bought the boat in 2004. It is still in good condition as there are no broken strands.
The running rigging consists only of the running backstays for the main. The upper half is galvanized and the lower half synthetic rope which probably could do with renewing.
There are four winches which are not self-tailing.
There are 6 sails
The main was torn once because someone bound the reefing lines to the boom. I have repaired it and it has held well since
The gaff sail on the foremast is still in good condition as well as the 3 head sails.
The top sail has only been flown once.

Owners Comments

The boat was built in Cape Town in 1987 and was then sailed to America. I bought her there in 2004 and sailed her back to Spain. At the beginning of 2005 I moved her to Smir, Morocco and took the whole boat apart, sandblasted the hull and repainted it. I also built new booms and bowsprit, installed the water maker and generator and many other things. Since then I have been sailing in the Med. and was twice in Sardinia. At the moment I spend most of the time in Mallorca.
