REMARKS
"Rhumba" was purchased by her present owner in 2004. She was professionally surveyed in 2005. Prior to that her transom was renewed in 2003 and keel bolts also replaced in 2003. She is a wonderful example of these popular cruising classics and has been sailed extensively by her owner and raced in local regattas.
