We measured Mouse Pad while hauled out in Raiatea and found that while the Draft has increased to 6' 10" and the LaW is now 34' and I am not sure as to the actual displacement. This is due to all the added cruising equipment, food and spare parts on board. As you can see a small increase in draft makes for a much longer water line. Unfortunately since there was an increase in weight the increased LaW didn't translate into speed. (Bummer!) |

The original Atomic 4 petrol engine was replaced several years ago with the current diesel engine. |

Prior to leaving Marina del Rey, California. I replaced all the running and standing rigging (1996). The standing rigging was replaced with a single (forestay/backstay) size. This increased the shroud size several sizes but made for much simpler replacement. The tops of all the stays/shrouds were swedged while the bottoms had Norseman fittings. This was done so I could make repairs to any one of them under way from a single spare. I also replaced all the blocks on the boat with the new Garhauer open faced blocks. They are all date stamped with their warranty date. |

The old bottom paint was sand blasted off and several coats of epoxy barrier were applied. There was no blistering, it was strictly a precautionary measure. Then 3 coats of Petit Trinidad (1st black, 2nd & 3rd red) were applied (rolled) without thinning. |
