Vargari Looks Better Than Ever

2011-03-29T09:30:00.000-07:00

We continue to cruise on Vagari again this season and do upgrades, maintenance and spit and polish work to keep her the first class cruising sailboat she is, even though she is for sale. In fact we have REDUCED THE PRICE TO $93.000.

· We had two coats of new bottom paint applied this March
· The topside strip that was blue/gray was painted white in March
· Had the rudder rebuilt in March
· Installed new lenses on the masthead navigation lights and anchor light
· Converted those lights to LED’s
· Converted the cabin lights to LED’s
· Took the teak trim on the deck down to bare wood then applied multiple coats of Cetol
· Performed normal maintenance on the engine and other systems

The LED’s really reduce the battery load when anchored or sailing. So you see Vagari continues to be a first class sailboat ready right now to take you cursing.

I have made a concerted effort to be accurate in this description. Please check it when you inspect the vessel and tell me of any discrepancies. Upon inspection you will find many items I didn’t list. We have decided to stop cruising after five years so all the cruising goodies we have accumulated go with the boat.

It is well worth your time to inspect Vagari. She is well maintained, comfortable and a magnificent cruising sailboat.
