Better Days...

Ok, this stuff kills me...  here is a little blast from the past.  It's a shot of the mighty fine lookin' Soverel 50 Locura back in 'the day.'

She was a fast boat, a successful boat, and not bad too look at either.  I got to sail on her a number of times and had fond memories...  even after design philosophies moved on, and rating systems changed, she was a powerful machine and loved to strut her stuff.

I dug the shot above out of my personal files because I happened upon a Soverel 50 for sale in San Diego.  Yep.  One and the same.  I was saddened to find this:  here she is now...

Ouch.  Ignobly waiting a new owner, which might be tough to come by.  They are virtually giving her away (asking $19K), so maybe she'll find some love... take care of your boats, folks, and they will take care of you!
