OVERVIEW

GB IV is a very special vessel.  She appears to have had a succession of caring owners who have maintained her well and lavished her with upgrades.  In 2003 she had a $100,000 refit.  The owner who sold her in 2015 spent $30,000 on upgrades.  GV IV’s current owner has spent over $110,000 on her since his purchase in 2021, including, to name a few upgrades, a new Betamarine diesel, Leisurefurl boom and new mainsail, hull Awlgrip, electric anchor windlass, dodger, electric main halyard winch, mainsheet traveler relocation, fuel tank, holding tank, galley sink, Wilcox Crittenden marine toilet, new cockpit drain seacocks, all seacocks rebedded, etc. etc.  Also, the bridgedeck was modified to include a step for easier access to the cabin.

GB IV has been thoughtfully prepared by her current owner for single or short-handed sailing.  She may be easily inspected in her slip in Fairhaven, MA.
