Recent History and Upgrades

The current owner purchased the boat in Feb 2017, 1986 Carroll Marine Frers 33 Hull Serial # CIR3300B686. The survey from that purchase is available. 

Upgrades by current owner:

Winter 2019:

  • Mainsail slides added to mainsail by North Sails
  • New North Sails Nordac #2 Genoa with Sunbrella furling panels to make it the primary headsail for cruising.
  • New North Sails Spinnaker
  • Navtec Hydraulic Backstay rebuilt  
  • May 2017, $3,138, Dockside Electronics: Raymarine Axiom 7" MFD Plotter at helm, Raymarine i70 Multi-Function Instrument Display and Fusion RA70 bluetooth stereo and cockpit speakers
  • Sept 2017, $1,316, local rigger made running rigging updates
  • Oct 2017, $8,241, North Sails Mainsail 3Di NorDac 16,800 Dpi, Genoa Medium 3Di Race 760 – never used for cruising, just Wed nites, Island Cup and Offsoundings plus a misc race here and there – check out NorDac https://www.northsails.com/sailing/en/sails/materials/3di/nordac -  I will never buy a laminate sail again! Both of these sails are in excellent condition.
  • 2 usable spins (.05 and .06oz) and two older spins, never used storm trysail and misc other sails suitable for cruising, including older Dacron main. Boat came with carbon and aluminum spinnaker poles and a carbon whisker pole 

Here’s what the boat needs over the winter:

  • One battery - recently failed, estimate $250
  • Navtec hydraulic (backstay) seal replacement, estimate $700 provided by local independent rigger

Spring maintenance items include: refinish exterior wood – there isn’t much wood though, otherwise the owner indicates the boat has no mechanical or rigging issues
