Today we are having the forecast strong winds, 30 knot northerly, tomorrow should be OK to leave here with 20 knot westerly.

Most of you will not have seen Paragon, there are pictures of her in my blog from 2 years ago, but I'll take this oportunity to describe the interior. There ar 3 cabins, the forward 1 is comprised of a double v-berth with large sail locker under. The mid cabin has 2 single bunks, 1 each side, pus various side lockers and water tanks under the 2 bunks. The aft cabin has, on the port side, a small head, a galley with sink and 2 burner gas stove. Behind that is a large chest type fridge. On the starboard side is a 4 seat dinette then the navigation table. The 2 cylinder, 15 HP Yanmar diesel is under the aft dinette seat.

The cockpit has 2 side seats and an athwart one behind the helm. There is a full cover over the cockpit with 3 large solar panels mounted on it. Drop down canvas and clear all round can completely enclose it.

Construction is double oregon planking with dynel sheathing (a resin impregnated cloth). The deck is marine ply. She was built and launche in Brismane in December 1981.

I will attach some photos of interior when I have taken them.
