boat 4 sale

a few views of the boat-these are the pictures we saw online that made us
decide she was the project for us.

here is the helm. its an edson worm gear steering system. (read-bulletproof, stout, hefty, etc.) this looks aft, she's a double ended sailboat (pointy at both ends)

this view shows the galley on the left, the doghouse in the center,
and the door to the head on the right. the green square is the companionway.
this is looking aft inside the boat.

this has got to be one of the most pathetic looking bathrooms i have ever seen, and i travel a lot. this is also the first thing we changed on the boat-mostly because it doesn't work in this picture.

a view through the open doghouse. a perkins diesel. a great little engine that doesn't currently run! but soon.....we do have the best mechanic in the world living on board.

a better view of the galley.

this is the forward V berth. and a view of the ten seater wrap around settee(read-couch). the table is a wonderful addition, as it is from an old trailer, or maybe one of those hotels you rent by the hour.









this boat was designed by a kiwi (read-new zealander ), named hartog. and built by nice boat yard in san fransisco. she was never finished and her interior is all plywood and primer-yummy.
we saw nothing but potential in her and are soon on our way to making her the exact boat we want her to be.

the first post

here is our boat! up until now, we have just been calling her the ugly duckling. We found her online for sale and decided, she was the one for us! similar to a steel boat we had plans to build, she put us 1 step ahead.

But alas- we were in alaska and she was in california. so we packed up all our stuff and shipped it all to california, and hopped a jet to the big world of the lower 48.

after months of lost paperwork, missed calls, and general bs, we got to take the tittle in to the dmv and register her in our names! wow! finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally after long hours of searching and many months of traveling-we own our boat-Mjolnir.

we're just getting started, give us a little time!
