    She’s 24 1-2 tons of solid boat, if I were to own her I would do a few minor changes, mainly cosmetic but with all the mechanicals and redundancy built into her I wouldn’t touch, the owner put a lot of thought and love into this vessel, very cozy.

    What an awesome boat. Reminds me of something like 1930's junk steamer from Africa or South Asia. Plus with it being steel means you don't have to worry about much in terms of weather. It is eclectic but that is the charm. They did a great job. For a home build especially.

    If I were to have this boat it would get a very major refit which, sadly, would likely wreck much of what the owner/builders tried to do as we don't seem to sail the way they do....not saying they are wrong but that we approach it differently. I hope she finds a new home with folks who can truly appreciate what the builders did and get the maximum out of her. She is an amazing vessel.

    My own ideal voyaging ship was a long keel junk schooner with a pilot house - and I bought a fiberglass hull and deck, finished it out, and crossed the Pacific in it. It was ideal - and I previously voyaged in a fin keel sloop with no pilot house. I named her Batwing, and she was in the Hasler McCloud book on the junk rig.

I LOVE the galley in the pilot house! Always hated cooking below and being tossed about but not seeing or being able to communicate, this overcomes that. This boat could go anywhere, and that’s where I would take it. . . . And by the way, I personally love the interior! Were I buying it, I would ask them to leave as much of the decor as they felt comfortable leaving to me.

    Reminds me of a steel hulled Watts design ketch built in South Africa... Norica, owned for awhile by a German couple, then was a fixture on the lower Chesapeake Bay for twenty plus years and eventually sold to some Englishmen who were going for a round trip of the planet. Originally had a British Leyland Diesel, replaced with a Perkins in the late 80s. One would notice that this vessel seems a bit short on room for stowage for essential at sea necessities, spares. Even a boat this size becomes a bit confining at sea, but not too bad. Boats like this are generally very safe at sea, but the Watts could get knocked over in a sudden squall if you aren't quick in reducing canvas. One thing that the owners might consider is a fully chain rode for the anchor. Interesting that the builder/ designer went with an unstayed Junk rig. She'll be nice to handle, steady with the keel, maybe just a bit under canvased, though. But, the nice 'iron lung' to motorsail with will get them where they're going to. Have fun with her. It's a beautiful boat.

    I don’t like getting cold either and definitely believe in triple redundancy… I would add a propane space heater too ( portable… wave 3-6 heater ..gives off ambient heat and sips propane ) …. Additionally, I love the “ novel” idea of having a junk rig however it’s incredibly inefficient upwind and heavy/ cumbersome… ( just think of roller furling by the push of a button from inside the warmth and safety of the pilot house on a dark and stormy night)… my yahl could fly 3 sails and if all were out full it was a lot of sailing power ( to assist better in your fuel consumption)… but to each his own I guess… anyhow, great job and the very best of luck good man !😊

    The other nice thing was the back stairs from the pilot house leading to the head and master cabin. So entry into the main salon wasn't necessary which might disturb other crew members. The only down side was the lack of ability to see the sails from the pilot house. That would be a big negative for me. Too bad they couldn't have thought to put the solar panels somewhere else and used that space for some sort of hatch/skylight system to allow for visibility of the mainsail.
