Photos showing an example of the white/red LED cabin lighting.

due to camera's insistance on auto exposure.Navigation System & Autopilot

Running Rigging
All sail control lines have been routed to the cockpit for safe and convenient single handing. Heavily loaded lines, such as halyards, are tensioned by added cabin top winches and held by line clutches.
Smaller mainsail control lines are routed to cam cleats.
Mainsail control lines have turning blocks at mast step. (Helpful hint: You are definitely going to want to have a large printout of this photo handy the first time you rig the boat for sailing!)
Harken ball bearing 6 sheave deck organizers are used to route lines around pop top. (The 2 old solar panels visible in these photos have recently been replaced with 4 newer, much more powerful ones.)
Photo shows jib flying above deck for fwd visibility. Not shown is a short section of chain added later to adjust tack height off deck.(The 2 old solar panels visible in these photos have recently been replaced with 4 newer, much more powerful ones.)
Do you have an appropriate tow vehicle for a boat this heavy?
To launch and retrieve it I paid a travel-lift.
After owning around half a dozen sailboats over 40 years, I've accumulated lots of related parts, supplies, books, etc. It all needs to go, as this is my last boat. So bring an empty truck for all the boat related stuff I'd like to take.
