Eric Jespersen and several of the shop crew have raced aboard her as she has become a spirited performer in the Pacific Northwest PHRF handicap races. |

Some
of the work undertaken has included repairing all frames and floors in the center of the boat, which along with a new plywood skin spanning the keelson in this area has significantly strengthened her amidships. |

| A
new keel was poured to an existing Davidson design and bolted in place.
A lighter engine with new exhaust system was installed. Neither would have been possible without the structural work. A new spade rudder and rig configuration, also to Davidson’s design, were built. New chain plates and strengthened mast step supported the rig changes and sail improvements. Early in our relationship new cockpit seats, lockers and gutters were built. A new stove and table were installed in the galley. A carbon fibre radar mast and up to date navigation equipment are other tasks completed. |
