The guy that owns that sailboat is popping a LOT of Maalox right now.....
The longer you wait the heavier she gets.... ouch.
Hard to tell the number of windows, but it looks awfully close to a Sou'wester 30...... Here's one for sale for comparison.......
Yeah, I am aware that in a lot of boats the machinery is under the living room floor and you have to move stuff to get to it. In my Hatt I walk...
