And here she is. A Compass Northerner 28 shown in all her splendour in Kirribilli, Sydney (well, a cat can look at a king!). In date rigging, a volvo md2020 repower engine and a bit of original cuteness inside. For those that worried about my no shower comments, I found a cockpit shower on poking around (although the water is not connected to anything at present ). Survey and sea trial came up well and she's looking great after the antifoul. The teak, decks and inside were very dirty but have scrubbed up very well.

We found a few presents lurking in the odd corners of the boat; a hand held radio, a brand new Plastimo 130 bulkhead compass and new rope. A nice bonus. The box of goodies in the boat yard included a tender and 20l of diesel in a jerry.





No major jobs, just the normal long list of minor ones. A good first yacht at a great price I think. When I've honed my boat repair skills on this one, I might join HG in an H28 - quite fancy a ketch!

Thanks to forum members for their comments. Whilst I'm doing her up, there will be lots more questions. Once I've done it, I'll be boring you with my "wisdom"

If you see Alibi on your travels, please come and say hello.


Beautiful Boat!!!
I was also lucky to get a whole heap of lil surprises on the boat(Apart from the junk, like old plant pots etc)
there was a hand held Garmin, Alan Lucas Book, Ipod Touch full of great music and some Musto wet weather gear. Well over a grands worth of stuff.
