Boat Name: PINBALL
Year: 1984
Size: 40' sloop
Date Purchased:1998

Boat History:
Purchased from local owner - John Turner; owned boat for six years/ he purchased from the orginal owner in Ft. Meyers area

Experience:
Sailing since mid-fifties / owned several sailboats, nothing larger than 30 feet/ enjoy racing catamaran, and small mono hulls (Lasers, Laser2)

Boat Review/Upgrades:
I do not have a lot of experience with the boat yet. I do not like the aft aluminum water tank, it blocks the free flow of water in the bilge. My bilge is generally dry, but I attempted to wash it down and found that water from forward had difficulty reaching the bilge pump area.

I do not like the flat bilge. I would prefer a sump.

I would like to re-wire my power distribution panel so that it can be swung out to work on the back. Getting in behind it in the engine compartment is difficult.

The boat does not have a windlass, and the deck configuration and anchor locker does not seem to lend itself well to the installation of a windlass.

I have many more questions than suggestions.
