Vessel in excellent condition, however, I several components remain to the connected, as once I started sailing, I never stopped to finish the pressure water system, shower, autopilot, hydraulic pump to lift the keel, etc. I can complete these or you can complete them to your specifications. I have sailed the boat throughout southern New England, and I lived on it for several years through the winter at a local marina.
