  Check the pics out:
  When I bought Estancia, It was neglected in Punatarenas, Costa Rica...After 12 years without seeing the boat sailing, and never leaving the dock, I decided to contact the owner, but he was out of the country, so I left my number...Then, three months later I bougt a Spirit 28', and fur months after that, I got a call from Estancias owner... He said he wasn't able to take care of the boat anymore and he wanted to sell it, but I already had a boat, so, he put a good price on the boat and I told him to give me two weeks, that I was going to put mine for sale. So, I did, put an ad on the news paper for the Spirit, got just one call, the customer came, loved the boat and bought it, so I went with the money and bought it.


  Estancia was on its way to New Zealand when the PO made a stop here, met a local girl, and the rest is history!!!!....According to the PO, the original name was Silver Streak, and came from Ventura, CA...

   Enough said, check the pics!!
  Interior: PO have installed the shelf over the galley...Very helpful, but made the interior look a lot smaller.. Check the awefull varnish color, the refrigerator that replaces the table, the drawers over the starboard settee, etc......


  Exterior: Check the stern pushpit, the hard dodger, hard bimini, no furling, and the awesome fenders!!!


  The exterior results look better on a clip:
