I figured I’d post a few pictures and a little info about the new “baby” that Brian and I got.

Year: 1979
Over All Length: 28′
Beam: 10′
Displacement: 6900 Lbs.
Fin Keel: 2900 Lbs.
Draft:4.9′
Inboard 15 HP Yanmar Diesel
Cabin Clearance: 6′ 2″
Mast Height: 37′
Full Tilt Boogie: 6 Knots (I think she’ll do 7)

An example of what the new boat looks like.  I haven’t gotten a full shot of her yet.

This is me and my best buddy Matt’s girlfriend on my boat on our way out of the Alameda/Oakland Estuary.

This was taken during “the perfect storm”.  She’s doing great!  What you can’t see is that Christina is laughing her butt off while Matt is holding on for dear life (and handling the camera in between wimpering cries to make it all stop). hehehe  As you can see, everything looks a little sideways as we’re heeled over about 30 degrees.

Brian’s first trip on our new boat.  Awwww.
