Original Volvo-Penta MD7A diesel is well cared for, runs beautifully.
Sails made by the legendary Stuart Hopkins at Dabbler Sails, who crafted them from Dacron to look like vintage cotton: half-width panels (18″) sewn with brown thread to catch the eye (and the camera), both jibs mitered to complete the vintage appearance.
