projects 53, 38 and a bit 48...

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  

 buy any Racer, 

          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..

Not many people visiting or coming by 

(nobody except for 5 and Grand Banks owner/seller Frans)

https://www.boattrader.com/boat/1974-grand-banks-heritage-48-7626670/ 

but have some other visitors some times...

After 3 flying lessons 

he/she is jet 2 return for 4th lesson..  😎

38

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
