1981 U.S. Yachts 33 - Goin My Way

Note: boat purchased on 2008-May-17

-spartan inside
-some deck leaks when new to current owner, e.g. genoa track
-mast electricals torn will be repaired
-a bit narrow in the back, built to meet IORC requirements
precious owner only raced ... had keel removed and rebedded - perfect condition, new bolts, no leaking
Cabin top had been rotted, some company repaired it by removing wood coring from inside and then ribbed it (the old C&C factory) and then glassed over
-has consolidated thru-hulls from about 8 to about 4.
-rebedded stuffing box, now dry

-water damage to some of the wood low in boat from old winter-storage water/freezing
-weight of galley and batteries lists boat to port ("1 inch")
-V-berth dinette table converts to berth (requires minor repair)
-balsa in side decks was wet from leaking cabin windows, so i) windows sealed and ii) drilled holes inside to let it dry out (planning to fill the in again; I suggest leaving open!), claims no rot! (and decks feel sound)
-balsa in side decks does not extend all the out to most later margin - pure glass along outer edge
-"drifter" no longer included with boat
-single spreader

-wind instruments malfunctioning (but possibly repairable, and has visual vane)
