Restoring " Etna's Spirit "
Finally after a couple of years, lots of patience and savings, I have come almost to the end. I said almost because I know this is a never ending story. I purchase a North American Yacht Spirit 6.5 on Craigslist for $1,200.00 advertised as a Catalina 22 that also came with a trailer. I researched the Company who had build the boat and the history. I read the history of this boat and imaged the enthusiasm and love the designer Hank Hinkley lay on this boat, and then the frustration of had to give it up due to miss advertisement on business technicalities. That just made me want to bring this dream back to life and try to enjoy some of the Spirit this great designer had back in those great old days in Sail boating evolution. So this started as a project were my kid and I share many memories and where we have learn more about Sailboat structure and mechanisms.
Picture of all upgrades and all systems will come soon.
