    Hi folks! 
    My boyfriend and I recently purchased, Mona, an owner-finished, flush deck WS32.  We bought her in Ft. Lauderdale and sailed her back to Port Lavaca, TX.  We got her at a rather deep discount as she has some rotten (or so to be rotten) spots in the deck.  We plan on permanently removing the teak decks and making the repairs this fall.  We have long term plans to cruise long distance, but we have quite the project ahead of us first.  We are still getting to know her and I've been accumulating oh so many questions.  Hopefully I can find the answers to some of them here.

    A late reply, but welcome, I was in your place a year ago. It's a great place to meet people and get some good advice w/o having to reinvent the wheel all over each time.
    Safe sailing,
    Rob & Sophia

    Are you aware of the Mona videos on youtube?
     I think there are 35 in total by Bob Butler who built the boat.


    Correction, only the first 5 or 6 are about the boat.
