I'm baaaaack! Literally to the board and home from Saudi Arabia. Most of you probably do not remember but I was in the middle of a purchase of a Triton back in November when I had to suddenly leave for SA. I had to back out of the purchase and was forced to leave a few other things hanging as well. It was a real experience over there and something I will never forget but I missed home.....and an occasional beer.
Anyway, within a week of being back I purchased this little beauty. I havent actually taken possession yet but that will happen next week. It is in really good shape and has been well taken care of. It has a full set of 7 sails all in very good condition and the Atomic 4 purrs like a kitten. There is one small area (8"x 12"+-) on the starboard side deck that is soft and all of the cockpit sole is spongy. Besides those areas the decks are solid.

That link should lead to a set of pictures of my new toy.
Future plans include a full refit with an emphasis on strength and simplicity. I will however sail her the way she sits for about 6 months in order to determine what is needed. Anyway, enjoy the pictures!
