New Owner - 1976 365 Ketch Hull #6

[SV Makani Kai]

Just purchased Tartanic (name will change) here in San Diego. Boat is in great shape, and I can't wait to get to know her better. I am reading all the posts here nightly to get up to speed on this boat. Looking forward to learning more!

Okay, so now I have learned that PeteW whom I purchased #6 (Tartanic) from, was an avid poster on this forum. I have read every post he ever posted, and understand everything now, knowing he is an Avionics Engineer. I am blown away by his ingenuity and effort he has put into this boat. I knew I was looking at something that someone put some serious time into, but I had no idea to this level.

That said, I am also dumbfounded now at how so much of his work actually works on the boat. And, how or if any of it will be easily fixed if needed, because it is so custom.

I have tried many ways to reach PeteW to no avail. I wish I could have a consultation with him to learn some things about this boat. If anyone is still active on this forum and has any recommendations, please advise.
