She was last painted with AWLGRIP Matterhorn White in 2017

She’s cruised the west coast, Caribbean, and French Polynesia prior to coming to Hawaii in early 1970’s where she served in charter as the primary Club Boat for Free Spirit Adventure Sailing, conducting day-sails and monthly 3-5 day interisland cruises for up to 18 members and crew.

My wife and I purchased the boat in 1992, operated the club for 13 years, and for the past 18 years have sailed her privately throughout the Islands. Unfortunately, at our age, she’s become a little too much for us to handle on our own.
