2002年6月2日 · A friend of mine just left the VI on world tour in a Vagabond 47. I crawled through every nook and cranny. Heavy, heavy, heavy glass job. Average to great joiner work. He did some rewiring. The boat is in impeccable condition. Teak decks. He was off a leeward shore in a blow last fall (south side St. John) and the 120hp Purrkins barely made ...
