The auxiliary diesel received extensive attention in 2019
- Rebuilt Injector Pump

- Propeller Shaft Balanced
- New Stuffing Box
- New Shaft/Pedro Tube Installation
Considerable attention has also been given to the underwater integrity of the vessel. All Thru hulls and seacocks have been replaced
The bottom received three coats of barrier coating followed by bottom paint, providing an excellent foundation for continued protection of the hull
The boat has now been stored out of the water for more than a year. Accordingly, she should receive fresh bottom paint before launching, but the underlying barrier-coat work has already been completed.
A proper cruising boat deserves proper ground tackle, and this Alajuela has been equipped accordingly.
She includes:
- New CQR Anchor
- Approx 200 feet of 3/8 Chain
- New Lofran Manual Windlass
This is substantial ground tackle appropriate to a vessel intended for cruising rather than simply moving between marina slips.
In 2019, an integrated GPS,VHF and AIS system was installed, bringing important navigation and communications capability aboard.
Also included with the vessel are new speed, depth and wind instruments still in their boxes, ready for installation by the next owner.
The standing rigging was replaced in 2019, an important consideration for anyone evaluating an offshore cruising yacht.
Also included is a new Schaefer 2100 roller-furling system that has never been installed. This gives the next owner the opportunity to complete the installation as part of recommissioning rather than inheriting another aging furling system.
Recent equipment and improvements include:
- New Propane Stove/Oven
- New V Berth Cushions
- Composting Toilet
The boat retains much of the character and straight forward functionality that make traditional cruising yachts so appealing.
