Lorraine and I have owned our teak Sea Witch, SOUTHERN CROSS, for nearly 2 decades. When we purchased her, she needed almost EVERYTHING redone or replaced. We re-rigged her for double handling with modern hardware, (adjustable travelers, self-tailing winches, roller furling and the like. The old rusty fuel tank was replaced with 2 new aluminum tanks under the cabin sole. Neil Pryde made a complete new suit of sails including a very useful topsail. We wooded the entire hull and applied Petit paint and varnish inside and out. We installed a new LPG marine stove and a small refrigerator.

We also added modern distribution panels, electronics, radar and rewired and re-plumbed the whole vessel. We made full awnings and covers and added an extremely strong dodger with a bimini. By 1995, after countless hours (and dollars), she was a "new" boat excluding the hull, masts, water tanks, engine and generator (both of which were completely serviced and superbly maintained since.)

We sailed our Sea Witch to Mexico (see photos - yes those are 2 Sea Witches in Baja) for a year and then across the Pacific to French Polynesia where we sojourned for 6 months. From there we sailed to Fanning Island in the Line Islands for the cyclone season and then back to Polynesia for a year and a half. We returned to Fanning for a second season and then to Hawaii. In June 2007, SOUTHERN CROSS carried us south once again to Fanning for 13 months and thence to the Northern Cooks, Samoa, Tonga, and at last to New Zealand.

It had been our goal to sail our own vessel to New Zealand since 1978 and we finally made it December 1, 2008. It took 30 years to realize our goal (lots of miles and lots of smiles) and now the time has come to find a new voyager to care for, sail, and enjoy what has been our wonderful floating home for so long. Throughout the time we have owned SOUTHERN CROSS we have maintained her in Bristol seaworthy condition; and she is loaded with all the cruising gear Spread the word, tell your friends - our famous Angelman Sea Witch, SOUTHERN CROSS, is available for purchase or trade. Thank you and Aloha, Robby and Lorraine Coleman
