1972 GB 32-247 Classic was sold
Went over just about every square inch of "the classic woodie" looking for problems and ultimately repairing them. The idea was to have an extremely sound, safe cruiser. Having traveled almost 4000 miles since 17 Sep 2020 it is a proven performer and a Great Looper!
The Lucky Maru was sold and a new project started - 1969 Bristol 42 Offshore.
