We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement starting in Summer 2025. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
