Finally our Allied 1970 39' Sloop "Southerly" is "just about" ready to go, I'll be re-launching this coming spring, un-tie the lines, living aboard and taking a "long trip".. Calling in Gone-lol.. check out some pics at
www.allied39.blogspot.com I'm looking forward to getting some information on the forum about traveling "outside" heading south. The ICW and much more.

Hey, I've been looking at the Allied boats. If you come across one for sale let me know. I think you picked a great value boat. Just the right size too. <swift.sailor@gmail.com>

I saw the boat all rigged up but on the hard in Greenwich. What delayed the trip ? Charlie Affel, caffelataol.com

Ran out of funding, currently on hold till oneday refunded.
We are very close...

Best of luck.
When I was younger, I sailed half way around the world on a shoe string budget and in a far less well found boat. We did all of our own maintenance, including painting the bottom tied up to pilings when the spring tide went out.
One thing that I do recommend is a dinghy that is as big as you can get safely on board.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Charlie Affel.

Saw the boat out in the yard and have to say it's had a ton of work done to it. Looks almost new, sorry you were delayed by a season but it looks sooooo close at this point.
Hope all goes your way over the winter and she sees the water this spring.
I just finished writing up the 4 page list of things to do to the Cheoy Lee we picked up, the sail back from Maine was "enlightening", nothing big, just a million little things that need attention.
Just might be looking at your parts collection once I get into the thick of it.
Good Luck!

I tried to look at the blog, but I guess it's gone.

Is there a way to track the re-fit for us curious enough to track it down?
