Condor ... alu Outborn 38 (1983),
Mariah ... wood Grand Banks 48 (1974),
53 ... GRP Maple Leaf 53 (1973)..
a formally 48 centre cockpit
now after a fire (many years ago) and added scoop ..
a 53ft aft cockpit.. very easy access
Draft min 1.65m, max 3.0m...
if I ever get the centre board down.. (stuck...)
So
plan was make 53 sailing again
and fit 2 be mother ship for racing
boat..
Could sleep 8 easy
and port side of interior for sail storage
etc..
.. so I
could
no interior needed..
Lindy had already made all new couches and mattresses
53
Jim said 53 front cabin rotten..
Water through window and hatches, well can handle that..
He was living on 53 with wife and 5yo
with a hell of a lot of cockroaches and...
what he failed 2 mention (among others)
Boat totally invested with..
They were and had been every where,
incl tops of the tanks, bulkheads, decks,
chain plates gone btw also gone,
and where they have 2 go..
invested..
etc..
Future.....
So saloon on the other side,
turn the very wide screen the desired way.... 😎
Reality outside..

53
Mast not paid for for years
and damaged by JC's people Jim claims..
JC wants 3000e cash for 4 years storage..
Rigger Arthur says track for furling main (furls in boom)
on mast is damaged beyond repair..
So nice
Jim, wive and kid overstayed there welcome because they did not move 2
Dominican Republic (was supposedly reason for sale),
could not find
affordable space..
Then I got app that they had left 53
and set 3 bombs
of
in futile effort 2 chase their live stock out..
NEVER heard or seen any thing of Jim any more..
Had 2 find everything out my self, no hand over, nothing..
Very descent people..
Thanks a lot, for all the fuck ups and twisting the truth like a juvenile master..
Paid the same 10 he paid for it,
in sailing condition etc 8 or 10years ago when Jim bought it,
but I did not know so may things can can be fucked up
(everything)
in one single boat..
Cheers
