Known History

Sometime in about 1998 this boat was purchased from a charity and and lived on for a while until the purchaser moved the boat to Perris, CA presumably to continue living aboard but without paying fees.  Through a series of unknown transactions it was acquired by a retired business owner who had a long time hobby of refurbishing city buses and making them luxury RV's.  Dave even wrote a few books about it.

After about 2 years of working on the interior and other things Dave grew anxious about completing the boat and advertised for partners in the expense of getting her ready to sail.  I met Dave in about September 07 and began helping him with the refit, after about 6k and many weekends of labor the boat was in the water (April 1, 2008) and we sailed her to Catalina.

On her maiden voyage she was amazingly fast to Avalon took us 5.5 hours and on the way back to San Pedro we were in the harbor in 4.5 hours, averaging 6.5 knots.

Dave decided he wasn't up for a long term committment and ultimately signed over full ownership to me.  I've owned her ever since and have been continuing to upgrade the boat as time and money allows.  She is a very capable and fast coastal cruiser and I've outfitter her for comfortable fun weekends at the island or at the dock but you can read more on the blog.  Thanks for visiting.
