Ahoy. Posting here because having a moment of boat love and thought I’d share.

Ajax is a Corten Steel moderate cruiser built in 1991.

Cutter-rig sloop, 3/4 keel, roller furler 150% Genoa, small blade for inner forestay hanked on.

Engine is a 65hp Perkins 4.203. Engine has done 10000 then was rebuilt “for safety”. Fixed prop.

Fuel and water storage all stainless (will go to plastic when water tanks fail.

Bilge is dusty dry.

New carpets, new stove, new squabs, new 120amp alternator (batteries are great but hours unknown, and they were very dry when I bought the boat)

Have owned Ajax around 4 years, do all work myself. Boat is sailed at least twice a month, and I sail it for around 4-6 weeks every Christmas.

Right now i have Ajax as a weekend apartment, and live around 4-5 days in a company apartment.

Ajax is mission ready at all times, and will do extended trips with about a day of prep and loading up.

I’ve done maybe 5k nm on Ajax, all NZ coastal sailing.
