1979 Cherubini 44

An elegant classic.  Ananda has been undergoing upgrades. New battery system, AC and DC wiring, all exterior wood re-done.

As you can see from the photos, the deck is peeling. The previous owner had painted them, but the paint didn't bond well in some places. 

This winter, the wood was sanded, and Cetol was used.  

The bottom was painted in 2024, and she was not launched last year, only last month, so it's basically newly painted.
