She's a 1979 Niagara 35 Mk-1 and we moves aboard on Sept 14th...just in time for hurricane Isabel.....it should be an interesting weekend in Toronto!

Congratulations...what a beauty!
Hard to believe she's 24....doesn't look a day over 10.
Here I am flowing back and forth about moving up 4 feet and you shoot for the sky.
Did you win the lottery?

Ken:

She is a sweetheart. Everything looks in A-1 shape already.

I studied the interior photos and I am confused by the layout. The galley is on the port side just forward of the companioinway. What is on the starboard side? Is the main salon/dinette forward of the galley?

How does she sail? As good as she looks?

She's a beauty, congratulations Lynn and Ken!!
Have you started dreaming or should I say planning, your cruises for next spring?
May you both have many wonderful times together on your new yacht!

Thankyou for your good wishes. Banks will loan you cash for old boats especially if the surveyor's evaluation is $13K higher than we paid!

The head is on the starboard side....two doors, one aft and a second one leads into the saloon. There's no V berth, just a storage area with drawers for gear & sails.

There are two 1/4 berths, starboard single and a cozy port side double berth. The pore settee can sleep another person, and the starboard setee opens out into a generous double berth. We'll use the 1/4 berths so we won't have to rebuild the saloon every morning.

We'll move from Port Credit in May over to Toronto Island for the summer. The first cruise likely will be to Niagara on the Lake, and a month cruise to 1000 islands on Lake Ontario.

All times are ET(US)
