Upholstery throughout the boat is OK but may require changing at some point, the head lining does need replacing.

Rigging

The twin mast cat rig, which is decked stepped and requires not stays. The running rigging needs replacing and the sails would benefit from a valet. Cat Ketch rig - comments by designer Garry Hoyt - "The proven cat ketch rig divides the sail area into easily manageable units and, since there is not jib to hassle, tacking is just a matter of turning the wheel. You can hoist, reef or douse either sail - all from the cockpit within 30 seconds. Downwind just wing a sail out on each side for powerful balanced drive. The carbon fiber spars are four times stronger than aluminum."
