Phase I
Fall 2007
Kip and Linda have considerable
experience refurbisbing/repairing boats in general,
having owned numerous sailboats and powerboats, and have worked in the boat
repair industry for years. They also
have considerable cruising experience having cruised for years in the
The boat is in sound condition (hull and deck wise), but is in need of systems upgrade, cosmetic work on hull, topsides and deck, refurbishing the interior, etc. etc. The boat came with new sails, a life raft along with numerous items which will be refurbished and placed back into commission.
Work so far includes removal of unwanted/unneeded deck hardware, filling of hardware mounting holes, and general preparation for refurbishing of the deck and cabintop. The topsides have been repaired, sanded (removal of several coats of paint down to the original gel coat) and generally prepared for eventual repainting later this spring. An inoperable engine (Perkins Perama) has been removed and a substitute engine, a used Yanmar is in the process of being installed.
Below are a few photos of MISCHIEF in the early stages of work – we expect to see further accounts of this restoration/refurbishing as work progresses.
