Greetings,

I am the new owner of Hull #176 (Currently named " Breezin") Her past owner was Michael Curry who gave the boat to his daughter after he passed away and then, as it sat forlorn for 3 years at our Yacht Club, I took ownership of it this summer in hopes of doing a full restoration of the boat.

The boat is in need of lots of TLC (new paint job, new bottom job, cushions, all the brightwork needs to be done, but the boat is in solid condition as far as hull and rigging...The boat is in New York on the Hudson River north of New York City (65 nm)

Mike Colucci
Hull #176 soon to named "Heaven Sent"

Welcome aboard Mike!!

Standing by....

Hi all.

I’m in the middle of a overhaul /refit of hull no. 176

Previous owner painted it white but as I’m sanding and prepping for a new paint job I was contemplating a new hull color.

Thoughts? Ideas?

I was thinking a pale yellow, white deck/cockpit. Black boot stripe and black cove stripe ?

I’m using Alexseal marine paints
