Many times, folks who dream of sailing beyond the seen horizon think their dreams are only attainable if they win the lottery. Wouldn't it be grand if we could all afford to sail off in a brand new cruising boat? Well, it would be but, that dream can live for a lot less than you might think.
Sometimes a boat comes along that is a good design to begin with and, in addition, has had loving knowledgeable owners who took great care to maintain her.
SKYE is a Pearson 35......a 1976 to be exact but, when you take a look at her you wouldn't believe it. Her owners planned to take her south on an extended cruise. They planned and improved her for YEARS. The first summer's cruise proved so delightful, they bought a bigger boat to continue but, there you go! SKYE did her job! Here's the link and take a look.
Some notable up-grades include:
- Reverse cycle heat and air '09
- Refrigeration with freezer '08 by Frigoboat
- Lewmar 44 ST's '03
- Lofrans manual windlass '09
- Standing rigging replaced '10
- Dodger '04, bimini and full screen enclosure '10
- Completly re-wired
- Treadmaster non-skid '07-'08
