Our ‘New’ Sailboat Is Already Fighting Back | Morgan 384
Canadian Ken and I are back aboard our “new-to-us” Morgan 384 as we race to get her ready for charter season in Maine… but like every old sailboat, she has a few opinions of her own. ⚓😅
This week: projects, surprises, problem-solving, and the very real joys (and headaches) of bringing a classic cruising sailboat back to life.
Because with old boats… the adventure usually starts after you buy them.
