: Dennis,
: I recently purchased a 1985 47'Vagabond.
: They're a very sturdy, seaworthy boat at
: it's best in winds over 20 knots.
: Beautiful under sail and lot's of comfort
: for a live aboard. No speed deamon but it
: will take you anywhere. Be sure to check
: the decks and prisms for leaks. The
: bowsprit can also have rot. Check all the
: chain plate bolts on the outer hull for
: rust. The chain plates themselves are
: glassed in on the inside and covered with
: woodwork, so if you have to change them
: it's a messy job. Good luck, Jack
