Blue Magic #33

Hey there Fellow Cabot Owners,
Glad that this has gotten straight and maybe this time the info will stick. Im the current owner of "Blue Magic" hull # 33. She has been my faithful home for over 5 years now. Seaworthy should be the name for this boat as she is forgiving, sturdy and everything that one could ask for when the waves get big and close. She has always gotten me where I needed to go in a decent speed and in comfort. I will add some links to pictures which will show some of the major work that I have had to do on her. There really isnt a sysytem that I havent had to re-build or re-invent on this boat. Very well built, but not always very well maintained. Ive found that for 5 years it seems I ended up completing others projects or taking out what they had screwed up. Of course there is always room for improvement. Of these are S/S Rudder, Davits Arch, New Electrical system, a range of new cabinets down below for storage in dead space areas and the list goes on. Its a labor of love.

So far under my ownership Blue Magic has sailed to the Bahamas twice in that 5 years and looking to do the virgins in nov 2006. Ive met many other cabot owners while i was there. Gave me great encouragment to see so many Cabots being cruised seriously still after 30 years. Great Great boat. Will add more later
