Well I appear to be the new owner of the best Independence 31 in the Southern Hemisphere. Despite looking for a larger and younger boat, I fell for the classic plastic look and feel - hook, line and sinker. She is hull #71 and I'm looking forward to varnishing, varnishing more varnishing as well as some coastal cruising and hopefully blue water voyaging too.
I have to send out a thank you for all the detailed and thoughtful input that has gone into the EYO site. Finding first-hand reports of the strengths and weaknesses of the model and similar Ericson boats helped me enormously during the survey and purchase process.
I hope to be a regular contributor and will try to give a taste of the cruising to be found in the Antipodes.
