OWNER COMMENTS:

"Smitten" sailed from England to the U.S. about 15 years ago. My wife and I bought her six years ago and gave her a major refit in 2003 as we prepared her for a 1 year cruise down the east coast , through the Bahamas and back.

If you are familiar with Sigmas , especially the older ones, you know they are well built and heavily rigged. We went through the boat from stem to stern. All new plumbing including a new head, and all new hoses and valves. She has a S.S. hot water heater which is heated by either shore power or the diesel engine. The Volvo MD-11 has all new seals, rings and many new parts. She starts without fail every time and runs strong.

She has a new North Sails full batten main and #2 jib on a Profurl double head foil furler. She also has a mylar light #1 Genoa, a #3 and a tri- radial spinnaker with pole and gear and an adjustable backstay. As long as we're talking about the rig, I'll mention that I took down the mast during the refit. I had it, and all the rigging inspected and replaced anything which looked questionable.

I replaced the anchor/running lights and deck light and pulled all new marine grade wiring through the mast (not to mention replacing ALL wiring through-out the boat and upgrading the fuse panel to a new breaker panel. I also installed new Raymarine speed, depth, windsystem and autopilot. She has a "wind bugger" wind generator.

I was working at a marina while I was doing the refit. So I either supervised all the work or did it myself. Knowing I was about to set out on an extended cruise, I did not cut corners. She also has a new main sail cover. And a sun awning which runs from cockpit to mast when at anchor.

My wife and I cruised her for a year, so she is very well equipped and has proven to be a very safe and comfortable boat. We have moved to the west coast and I will be very sad to let her go. "Smitten" came with a custom, very well insulated ice box, into which I installed an adler-barbour refrig-system that should be serviced.
