These are winter photos here, showing Mandalay as she is at the slip in Squalicum Harbor in Bellingham. You can click on the photos for larger images.
The boat is dependable when the wind or waves kick up, maneuvers easily in small harbors or while docking, sails in up to 50 knots, has plenty of power under engine in any conditions, and is not cluttered with too many gadgets.  She is very comfortable and sails well in light air as well.  We have owned the boat since 2006, and have upgraded or replaced most of the systems and lines, and had the mast out for complete servicing and paining in 2013.  Files containing all service and upgrades are included along with original manuals in notebooks. No dinghy included.
