An update: X Dimension is back in Boston, moored at her usual home at
Waterboat Marina.
The boat was delivered from Boothbay by MIT's youngest skipper, All
American sailor Lisa Sukharev-Chuyan, 24, and her younger brother Max.
Lisa picked a good window post-Irma/Jose, before Maria hits New
England. The delivery took about 36 hours. If you want to see the
skipper's report, email me.
So yeah, this boat can sail. XD practically steers herself upwind. I
have always been able to balance her in two seconds in any wind. She
sails better than any other boat I've ever sailed, when I think about
it. So despite her wet core and a list of other problems, this is a
great boat. If you have the skills (and the money, sigh) to fix her
up, you may end up owning a beautiful C&C cruiser/racer.
I have neither the skills to fix XD up myself, nor the money to pay
someone else to do it. If I did, I would take the boat myself.
Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't make too much out of the one/two
winch handles. Maybe one floating handle got lost.
From an MIT engineer point of view, it is good to know how a boat gets
cut up. I was wondering about the mechanics of it. Thanks for the
details (as gruesome as they are). That's not likely to happen to XD
at this point, there seem to be enough interested parties to acquire
the boat.
Fair winds,
Violeta

Boats I have seen cut into disposable pieces were cut with a
sawzall. I have seen this happen to a Ranger 26 and a Cal
29. I don't know why a 43 would be much different -- it would
just take longer. It's a shame to see.
My Custom 42 had extensive core wet core problems which took
about two years to repair. The 43 looks very similar to my boat.

The MIT bluewater wiki was created and is maintained by MIT
volunteers. I updated a lot of stuff last year, but have not
touched it since last December. I have not seen XD this year.
I don't know how much has changed on the boat and what was
reflected on the wiki.
More importantly, if people look at the wiki for reference,
the following items will *not* be included with the boat:
Handheld VHF radio
Lifejackets and harnesses
Dinghy
MOB light and mount
Storm jib
Tools
Ship's supplies (nuts, bolts, wire, tape, etc.)
Jacklines
Buckets
One of the floating winch handles (one will stay on the boat)
Foul weather gear
AIS and splitter
Radar reflector
Laptop/iPads
Chart plotting tools
Canadian charts
Garmin GPS
Also, several people from the list have looked at the survey
already. It seems XD is in worse shape than I'd thought. I am
no expert on boat repairs -- I have never dealt with wet balsa
core or anything like that. I am on this list because I am
learning a lot from members with vastly more experience than I
have. I very much appreciate people emailing me back with
comments.
Maybe someone on the list will acquire XD and we'll read more
about it, or aybe someone else will acquire her, or maybe the
boat will go to the cutter. Speaking of which ...
How does one cut up a boat? Seriously, what do you do with a
43-foot boat, if you want to destroy it?
I have started calling XD "it", not "she". I guess that's a
goodbye.

Hi All,
I may be on the west coast, but check out the MIT/X
Dimension wiki - as a broker, I've never seen this much
info, from an owner on their boat:

Wow, Lee

After Katrina boats were pulled from the harbor, a back hoe or
similar was used to break them apart and then toss the pieces into
a dumpster. Was very fast and effective as the hulls and decks
gave little resistance.
