That boat is #917 according to Craig at Sailboats Inc. in Indiana. I noticed it comes with a 135% furling jib. Hmmmm... I could sure use a little more sail area than my 100% offers.

That last photo looks like a wing keel under there.

Is it just the picture or is the shelf missing over the galley?

Wil, the 2006 model and later does not have a shelf at the galley (at least JD never had one till I put one in)
Do you have one on yours? (curious to see it.)

He notes that wing keel is available, however this one is a WB.

The shelf is a WK thing, WB's don't have the shelf.

Mark, Congrats, keep her kindly!
From the pics on your site I see several differences in the galley area of the WK-v-WB. As pointed out that shelf is not there (lower headroom probably enforced that decision). And the tube from below the electrical panel is not present in the WB (I had to make my own routing for electrics that provide power for the AM/FM/CD unit I installed on the fwd side of the galley unit and for the water pump installed under the galley floor.

Nice Name!!!!

Looks like #1,000 should splash around June 07 at this rate.

Mark,
Nice looking boat - you should have fun with your new boat.

Here are a couple more changes I noticed on Mark's boat from my boat:

1) They added a starboard mounting plate under the table pedistal receiver on the floor. That looks good - in my boat the pedistal receiver is mounted right to the floor.

2) They added two clam shell vents on the stern. Do these vent into the rear berth or the rear battary/storage area? I like the look of these on the boat.

Paul,
I don't have any photos of the shelf. It looks just like the one in the photo of Mark's boat. I wish it had the teak trim like Tom put on his shelf (see his web site).

Note: I thought the ss tubing below the electrical panel was the routing for the gas to the stove?

At this rate, in about 60 more years you'll match the C-25 run!

Wil, Your right, the propane line from the cockpit locker to the stove runs through that SS tubing.

I think the 2 clam shell vents are for the inboard diesel.

The stainless steel tubing was used for the cockpit Propane tank.
Mark's boat has the new Butane stove without the cockpit tank.
I'm wondering if it's used anymore?

Also, there is a tall wheel guard in front of the compass.
Was that extra?
My 2005 model, it didn't come with the guard (it's on my Christmas list).

Mark, I like your setup.

Mark,

The detailed analysis that you did prior to purchasing Persephone is quite impressive and a very nice read! Thanks.

The DFO tank replaces the battery in the stern, and the batery is located foward, under the Vberth on the centerline.

The wheel guard was installed by Catalina.It is an "unpublished factory option". I actually saved money having Catalina doing the job. Plus THEY were drilling the holes.
