BLITZEN appears to be in reasonably good condition given her age. The present owner has undertaken the necessary maintenance every season in order to enjoy her year after year. A new owner may continue that maintenance schedule, or consider a full refit in order to bring BLITZEN back to like new condition. Either way, BLITZEN has the design, lines and pedigree that will keep turning heads in the harbor for may years to come.
