GONZO my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat

GONZO my Freedom 25 yacht:
This blog will document the continued restoration of my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat, along with all the experiences I have. I purchased my F25 in the winter of 2009 from the 3rd owner who had the boat in NH. Gonzo has a composite rotating winged mast, yanmar inboard diesel, a Gun Mount spinnaker pole and staysail. This is my 1st cruising sailboat and I look forward to learning how to maintain and slowly restore and sail in Narraganset.

Engine: Yanmar 1GM

The Engine: the famous Yanmar Diesel IGM, during the sea trials this motor ran fine it made a small bit of smoke but the boat did 6+ knots with a 2 blade folding prop with under 3,000 rpms. After looking over the motor briefly the engine harness is a mess but this work will be covered in the electrical section. I'm not planning on a full service but just the bare min to get the motor running well.
