The Voyage Begins

After searching almost a year for a boat that would suit our lifestyle, Bob and I found "Cornucopia" a 1973 Finnsailor 35. We took possession on June 29, and sailed her from Piers Point in Boston to the Winthrop Yacht Basin where we have a mooring.

June 29 - July 13, we spent in Winthrop learning the boats systems and provisioning her for our sail home to Bridgeport, CT. During that time we discovered that the mooring needed upgrading with a new mushroom and larger chain to accomodate the heavier, longer Cornucopia.

Cornucopia was built in Turko, Finnland, for the rough North Sea. She has a 75 hp Perkins engine that will push us through most seas. No matter what the conditions, we should be able to make headway. Previous owners have modified her to create a more spacious galley. The addition of the canvas enclosure makes her comfortable for all seasons and weather.
