MOST RECENT ON MAINTENANCE (May 2015, from seller)
My plans are to get the boat in the water at the end of June and to photograph it thoroughly. I have a professional photographer and have made arrangement for a chase boat to carry the photographer while Orion is under sail. Also plan to photograph her on a mooring against a flattering background. Also will take numerable photos of the interior which is very pretty with lots of varnished wood.
The only upkeep necessary is to buff out the topsides and lay up a couple of coats of varnish on the exterior bright-work. The mast and other spars are perfect. The mast was professionally stripped to bare wood and then eight coats of varnish a couple of years ago.
