E-Mail Greg   12/04 Since the last time I gave you information, I have cruised to Alaska and back, definitely a trip! The Offshore 41 (Tiger Lily is a yawl) proves again and again to be a remarkable sailing vessel, well worth any issues that I've been faced with. Since I've bought her I've reconditioned the decks and masts and am halfway through a remodel of the interior. Incidentally, I feel largely responsible for the article in Practical Sailor a couple of years ago. I met the author at a boat show and suggested the article to him. We subsequently met on my boat, and I provided the literature (layouts, original sales brochures etc.) that was used in the article. Though I noticed another owner getting ready for a blister job, Tigerlily, a '78 Offshore, has never yet shown a sign of a blister. Lastly, I am probably the only person who is not a big fan of the circular settee. While it is great for gatherings, it is lousy for sitting with your feet up for a good read (no 'square' back to lean against). Anyway, thought I'd get back in touch. 10 years with Tigerlily and still loving it.

3/08 This is project boat that will take time to restore to her full glory. When I'm done, I plan to circumnavigate. I have some ideas, like converting the ketch to a sloop with a freestanding carbon fibre mast, installing electric pods instead of rebuilding the motor.... and others.... but any comments gladly welcomed at trkrkvn@hotmail.com .
