Awesome! Nice work , I’m refitting a west coast Triton. 1962 hull # 372 . Almost finished with the JBaldwin engine box, ton of work! Same engine;). I also glassed over the entire hull/ deck joint with 2/3 layers of heavy biax tape. These boats are tanks. My project is on hold at the moment but you’re helping to relight the fire, cheers mayte from CA.
I hope you will remember sailing with me in Pike Bay. If you can sail in that bay you will know lots of do’s and don’t of sailing. I wish you all the Best with your project.
Hey Kevin, I do remember. That was a long time ago. I’ve wondered if I could get back there with my Triton but don’t think the water levels would allow it.
Hi Jason. You’re right about that side of Lake Huron. A drop keel would be a better option. When you get to Midland, let’s meet for lunch. Have a great trip.
Love the idea of a sailboat as a fair weather home! You know the usual advice .... before putting in a lot of time & effort (and resource$) on any major interior changes ... live on / in it for a few weeks. Things are usually the way they are for a reason.
Very true! There are a few interior changes that I will be making down the road to increase the space of the cabin and possibly a few others but the exterior is the priority for now
Thank you. No I didn’t have a survey before buying. I was trying to find a surveyor but they weren’t responding to my emails. I ended up having someone experienced go look for me and send a ton of photos and some video for me to see
I’ve been waiting to reply to your comment until I had this next video ready. I explain the main points for choosing a Pearson Triton in this video: 7 Characteristics that make a Pearson Triton a GREAT Small Ocean Passage Maker for Solo Sailing ua-cam.com/video/IEB8KTsTD2w/v-deo.html
How fantastic 👏👏. It looks the same size as the one my late husband and I had way back. We had so much fun on it, but the mast broke during a regatta 😏. Well done 👍.
This is super !! I am very happy for you, and I think you made an excellent decision. Keep making your dreams happen, it is so inspiring to watch all the things you do !
OMG...you bought a boat. You really were bitten by the sailing bug. I did the same thing after taking my first sailing course, although I bought a local boat and didn't have to drive for a week...lol. Best of luck with your new sailboat. I am pretty confident you will have her in Bristol fashon before too long.
Thank you. Yes, I absolutely love sailing and think it’ll be a good addition to my life. It’ll take a bit of work to get the boat ready but I’m up for the challenge
an old timer said for those long drive, bring a board. when you get tired of sitting, sit on the board. when the board is getting hard to sit on, sit back on the seat. i didn't try it. crazy, maybe. may as well try it if you are up for it. time waits for no one.

Very cool! Yeah, a lot of work but I think they will last a long time so worth it
Missed you in Traverse this Spring. Best of Luck!
Thanks. Yes, it was a busy time

Congratulations! I wish you great adventures in your new boat. It is beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations! Interested to know if you hired a boat surveyor to do a complete inspection prior to the sale?
Thank you.

Yes crazy - crazy good! 💥congratulations!
Thank you so much 😀
Wow, very nice! ⛵

What made you pick that make and model? Kind of a trick question, my wife and I have one…
