Boat Name: Lady Jane
Year: 1984

Date Purchased:1995Boat History:
The prior owners, Heidt & Page Adams, had the boat for about 8 years. It was purchased on Lake Lanier, near Atlanta and stayed there docked at their house except for a few months when he and his new bride, Page, shipped it to Jacksonville and spent their honeymoon on her in the Bahammas. Her name then was 'NDEVR'.I re-named her 'Lady Jane' and kept her on Lanier at Sunrise Marina until Jan. '97 when we shipped her to Savannah. From there we sailed to the Abacos where my bride of 25 years and I spent about 5 months. We then sailed her to Canaveral and up the ICW to McIntosh County (which is just South of Savannah). She has been there about 9 months.

Boat Review/Upgrades:
This boat is almost perfect for us - it was love at first sight. It is a bit slow for racing, but that is probably the fault of the captain and the old sails. The exterior is easily maintained and we think the interior is beautiful. The prior owner made some very nice changes to the interior and kept it in first class shape. He used the door to the forward berth and the former pull down table to build a gimbaled two leaf table with storage in the pedestal whiich is extremely functional and quite lovely. We have no place for wet foul weather gear, so it ends up in the head or or in the way in the salon. Former owner also added a swim platform on the stern and it makes boarding the dinghy very easy.
