Re: the wiring; the first projects we did in 2006 were new wiring from the batteries to new fuses and a battery selector switch; and new wiring to a critical circuit subpanel with new wiring to three bilge pumps, the VHF, and the anchor light. When we installed the windlass 4 years ago, we installed new 4-o welding cable from a new circuit breaker to the windlass with new wiring to all controls.
When we worked on the mainmast 2 years ago, we pulled all new wire from new switching to the new masthead, new tricolor and new LED deck lights. We also ran new wire to the running lights. It's accurate to say that all critical circuits are now done with new tinned copper stranded wire and appropriately sized. The existing circuit breaker panel is neatly done and working well. but 40 years old.

If I could afford two boats, I'd love to buy it. The Ingrid for the offshore passages and my East Orient 32 for the Med. Good luck.

We'll keep you posted- there's a fellow who's pretty serious, still considering it though. Thanks for your interest!

Getting ready to put her back in the water; unfortunately, the seriously interested (2 fellas!) faded away...
So, we're becoming more "motivated" as it's called, and have lowered the price accordingly to $60,000.
After this month, she can be seen on Whidbey Island WA; go to her website for details, and lots of photos of recent work, including waterproofing decks.
Thanks!
John and Robin
