...........my whole attitude has changed since I got back in the boat business, back to my old screwed up self! ! ! I always said I would never own a monohull boat till I first saw the Friendship Sloop....fell for it immediately.....she had sunk at her mooring here in the Rio Dulce and doomed to rot on the bottom intil a Guatemalan welder, Carlos Morelos raised her and put her up for sale....the hull had brand new paint job with new bottom paint but interior was a mess....major work required there which is underway now..............doing research, I discovered a ton of info on the net...even found interior and exterior photos of MY boat.......she was listed on the registry of FRIENDSHIP SLOOP SOCIETY in Maine, the birth place of these boats...first designed and built in 1890's.......this boat was built in 1969 by Bruno and Stillman boat builders in Maine....(30) feet on deck with a (10) bowsprit....she was (and still current) documented by USCG under the name of DEFIANCE........ I intend to main her name and documentation.the name of Agua Azul was arbitrarily given by the salvager that I bought her from.....She is diligently being restored to her original condition..hope to have her sailing again by this September..........
