I am looking at a 1976 41 foot ketch. Was wondering if anyone out
there had any experience with the general construction of these boats.
This one still has all the bright work on the deck and I have heard
that can be the cause of a lot of leaks, Any other general thoughts on
construction, sailing performance? I am looking at it as a low cost
blue water cruiser. Masts have been changed to Aluminum and the boat
rerigged about 3 years ago.
