Beyond, Departure 35, steel sloop

This yacht is a Departure 35', built in Bellingham WA, and fitted in Tarpon Springs FL by the original owner.

She has been sitting in North Sound, Virgin Gorda, in the BVI for several years which in the tropics can be quite damaging.

The first most important jobs will be to treat her for rust in the interior and get a good barrier coat on her. The running rigging will be entirely replaced and the topsides repainted.

She will be a fine yacht with a few months of good work put in to her.

It is now the intention of this blog to record any new findings for working on a private boat in the BVI, methods of dealing with rust, or useful measures to make a job easier.
