So we purchased this boat back in January, sailed her down the coast to San Diego, and have been working to get her into full racing condition. The list of projects is long.... Hull was covered in blisters and we did a full repair ourselves (never again!). We attacked the hull stripes, topsides, and other bottom side stuff at that time. Past that we have been replacing lines, winches, and other gear as well as working to tune the Ballenger spar.

Looking forward to learning from you all along the way!

We had a coastal race this past weekend, and placed well, we like to think the countless hours on the bottom work was a part of this...

Nice to hear of so much progress!
From here on though, you really need to start (or add to) relevant threads for maintenance projects. This helps hugely with site indexing and searching, as this present thread will be overlooked in the For Sale section.
BTW, both pix are "Magazine Cover quality"! (or would be great computer desktop images...)
Cheers,

Happy to see Razzberries has found a new home in SoCal! The hull and waterline stripes really pop!
We sailed on her and against her many times with the original owner, Bruce Nesbitt. I am sure with the tall mast you will have great light air performance. BTW, are you using the running backstays? We found them very helpful going upwind on the Bay.
