September 2004 picture -- before doing any work on her
List of upgrades and maintenace since purchasing her, with another picture
These are current pictures showing roller furler. Have bought new boat (Islander 28); need to sell this one.
Interior pictures attached. Note that bolt heads on the bulkhead are from previous owner bolting a large steel plate to the forward side to stop sag under mast step. Not pretty, but effective.
Just noticed this ad in Craigslist:
I actually saw 'Solidare' on the hard at a yard while she was getting a (nice) bottom job last year. She had a few projects taken care of and looked well looked after and seemed to have an eager new skipper (I did not meet him). I wonder what happened...
