Anacapa Pilothouse Motorsailers

Hi all! Been a while since our last post, but we have been busy. Most all of the plumbing is roughed in, all of the engine, pump, battery bank and charging wiring is in (pics to follow soon). When Marisa and I bought Charisma, her bottom was in a horrific state (the boat's, that is :-). We had her professionally peeled down to solid glass, and after two years of off and on epoxying, sanding, filling, and a whole bunch of MAS epoxy barrier coats, she is finally done! Here she is after two coats of Trinidad bottom paint:

We have a ton of other stuff to post soon, I just have to remember to bring the camera down to the boat to snap some pics to go with my next blog. We hope all of you Challenger owners (and SPBW's owners) out there are having a great Summer. We look forward to hearing from you soon, Calm seas and blue skies, Chris and Marisa
