I have owned the boat for ten years. A previous owner had outfitted the boat for cruising. A standard joke when I take friends sailing is that something will need repair and I will rummage around in a lazarette or a locker below and appear with a replacement part. When asked \'where I got it\' the answer is invariably \'it came with the boat\'!
Sale of the boat will include everything that \'comes on the boat\'. It is a garage full of equipment. In fact my advice is to do what I did. Empty the boat and then re-stow and label the location of every imaginable piece of equipment or replacement part. I truly believe you could literally provision with food and water and embark on a cruise!
I\'m mellowing with age and like time share vacations! I can get my sailing fix by chartering anywhere in the world!

2 years ago I was out solo in weather between Anacapa and Santa Cruz. My mainsail blew out and a following sea backed up the engine exhaust. Caught with only a headsail and being blown down the coast I maydayed and the Coast Guard towed me in.
(Rather nice to find that after the automatic inspection by the Coast Guard my only violation was outdated fire extinguishers and
and emergency flares). Additional addendum: despite my foolishness "Julie" to care of me. She never felt unseaworthy. I called mayday as I didn\'t relish being blown down the coast all night with only my headsail.

Heart 21-120 inverter
Spars and Rigging: Aluminum deck stepped w/tabernacle system

$$$$$$: $15000 firm. I stole the boat for $14000 ten years ago. There is easily $10000 of \'beyond basic Vega upgrades\' on this vessel. Come out with me for an overnight to the Channel Islands and I\'m convinced that "Julie" will win your heart.
