It's been a good run, but it's time to simplify our situation regarding the "one boat surplus".

Rudder repair, 2012:
 |
| This needed a touch of fairing forward of the strut. There was no structural issue or misalignment. |
There is a saloon table aboard
and a new table support base, but as we don’t use the table, I haven't installed
it.
Sails: the main is relatively new
Dacron and there are a wide variety of "less old" sails that will
come with it. Quite frankly, I've got a lot of sails "in reserve"
hanging in my garage. I have things like lightly used Mylar No. 1 and 2s in the
garage off a C&C 34 (Aristo out of NYC) that can be converted to
hank-on for about $150/sail. I've done this with the Kevlar/Mylar No. 1 and a
previous main, but the current composite No. 1 is getting a bit tatty. We carry
a No. 1, 2 and 3.

| And we like serious gear. |
Keel fairing repair, 2010:
Items not included in the sale: Triton asymmetrical chute, foredeck whisker
pole, Fortress FX-23 anchor and rode, 10 foot Portabote, and the sailing repair
box, the “crash box”, the camp stove and all tools and personal effects. The customary big bag of "make us legel" keyhole foam life vests can stay. They make good headrests
I would also throw in some
Atomic 4 spares as I wouldn't be needing them anymore, including extensive
documentation, some gaskets, various pumps and belts, the stock alternator and
so on.
If the interested party is in
Toronto, it may be possible to "inherit" my 30-foot slip at Marina
Quay West, which I would think is a big incentive, unless they really want to
be in a yacht club.
Price: Make an offer! Price is an exceptionally good $7,000 Canadian.
The main downsides are the
original upholstery, which looks worn and is plaid, and the fact that Valiente needs a redo of the ITT Brydon head,
because we essentially just day sail her. So while there's not a lot in the way
of amenities...she just sails really well.
Frankly, if I could bag this boat and retrieve it when we return, I would,
because I believe it's a really good, fast, strong and capable boat for sailing
around the Great Lakes.
Interested
parties are welcome to search my blog www.alchemy2009.blogspot.com
for posts on "Valiente"; there are records of the many fixes
I've made in the last few years, because I've done them on Valiente first
before doing them on Alchemy.
