"Thankful" is ready for a new owner and could be sailed south, or used locally.
One design defects in GibSea boats have already been corrected - the cockpit seat planks were bolted from inside.
I removed the bolts and glassed over 84 holes!.
Oven and freshwater systems are delivered "As-is", as I never used them, but they were reported working in 2017.
This boat sails incredibly well, in light air or heavy.
The hull exterior is in fair shape - some gelcoat "Crazing", but it is not noticeable from a deck.
The standing rigging seems fine - no bird-caging or frayed wires or rust.
See above for refit items -

AC/heater (Working fine, 2024).
Aft Davits.
Pressurized Hot Water system warmed by the engine (Note: have never used this yet!).
