If you haven't already, I'd get a boat inspector out to take a look at is out of water just to be sure it's seaworthy before getting it to far from shore =). My girlfriend is big into sailing and has told me many-a-time that when buying any sort of new boat it's best to get it inspected. This'll also give you an idea of anything that will need fixing in the near future.

(omg)

My dad's a sailor, and my dad's dad was a sailor. In fact, my dad's dad's dad was a sailor as well. So, it's pretty safe to assume I've spent my life around and on sailboats.

That boat is absolutely beautiful. Slips are costly, but you got an insane deal. Is the hull and keel in good shape?

 

[gone_fishin]

Not to bombard you with questions, but what size is it? How old? All wood or fiberglass hull?
