The MIT bluewater wiki was created and is maintained by MIT volunteers. I updated a lot of stuff last year, but have not touched it since last December. I have not seen XD this year. I don't know how much has changed on the boat and what was reflected on the wiki.
More importantly, if people look at the wiki for reference, the following items will *not* be included with the boat: Handheld VHF radio Lifejackets and harnesses Dinghy MOB light and mount Storm jib Tools Ship's supplies (nuts, bolts, wire, tape, etc.) Jacklines Buckets One of the floating winch handles (one will stay on the boat) Foul weather gear AIS and splitter Radar reflector Laptop/iPads Chart plotting tools Canadian charts Garmin GPS Also, several people from the list have looked at the survey already. It seems XD is in worse shape than I'd thought. I am no expert on boat repairs -- I have never dealt with wet balsa core or anything like that. I am on this list because I am learning a lot from members with vastly more experience than I have. I very much appreciate people emailing me back with comments. Maybe someone on the list will acquire XD and we'll read more about it, or aybe someone else will acquire her, or maybe the boat will go to the cutter. Speaking of which ... How does one cut up a boat? Seriously, what do you do with a 43-foot boat, if you want to destroy it? I have started calling XD "it", not "she". I guess that's a goodbye.
