The previous owners commented... "Our time on Irie, we have spent 99.9% of our time at anchor. We selected and outfitted the ground tackle knowing this is what we would be depending on night after night, and it has never let us down. The primary Manson Supreme is a fantastic anchor, and ours is oversized for IRIE."
Last hauled out in November 2023 for routine hull care, new anodes etc.
A full epoxy job was given to the hulls in the 2021 haulout, minor osmosis blistering was treated by grinding and filling.
