A33 Palindrome is Officially for Sale

[Palindrome]

Hello All,

After some deliberation we have decided to sell our Alajuela 33 "Palindrome". She has taken care of us well and we feel it is time for her to experience further adventures with a new owner. 

In preparation for sale we have done a deep clean of the entire vessel inside and out including shampooing all the upholstered surfaces, cleaning the dodger, and clearing out and scrubbing out all lockers from stem to stern, as well as all bilge areas and mast step. She is currently in the Great Lakes and has been in fresh water since 2009 and stored indoors, heated, during the off season.
