Our boat is a Mason 33 sloop, designed by Al Mason and built in 1985 in Taiwan's well-known Ta-Shing Shipyard by Pacific Asia Enterprises. It is a comfortable, heavily-built cruiser. We bought the boat in 2007. It had been lightly used for most of its 22-year life: there were only 400 hours on the engine and the interior, including the bilge, was amazingly clean and new looking. The boat has extensive storage space, which should make it a good live-aboard. When purchased, it had only the most basic electronics (VHF, depth gauge, knot meter), which I liked because it allowed me to upgrade to my choice of new equipment.
The boat was previously known as Sous Le Vent (Downwind). In anticipation of the upcoming sabbatical year, we rechristened her Sabbatical. The re-christening followed all the require formalities--including a toast to Neptune.
