We recently got a nice report from a gent who has a Navigator down in Mexico.  He bought it used, in pretty rough shape as it had evidently seen a lot of years, miles, rough weather, and some previous patchwork .  After quite a labor of love he has done a fantastic job of restoring it to its former glory!  These before and after photos are really inspiring.  Her new captain is a saxophonist and has decided to name her, “Jazz!”

Thanks Paul for restoring this little beauty and sharing the photos with us!

Before:

During:

Wow, that’s a lotta bondo!

He repaired the oars, washed the sail, even polished up the oarlocks!

A fresh coat of paint

After:

All trailered up (he even built a nifty PVC trailer)

Ready to put to sea

What a great reward for all that work!
