Previous Owner's comments: "Over
the past several seasons (1989-2002) Obsession has been re-fit for competitive
club level racing. Her mechanical systems and standing rigging are all in excellent
shape and she is race ready. The bottom was taken down to bare glass and 10
coats of Interprotect 2000 hard epoxy barrier coat spray applied in spring of
2002, along with 2 VC17 topcoats. Obsession’s decks and topsides are Awlgrip
and could use a re-paint to bring her into Bristol condition. Sailing in a highly
competitive fleet on the southern end of Lake Michigan, Obsession has compiled
an impressive list of nearly 100 trophy finishes since her current owners purchased
her in 1989."

2014 From Internet,
One Ton Class Facebook, information and picture: "with
a long history of winning races on the Great Lakes. Garrett Marine built a few
different versions of this design, I have the fractional rig with tall mast.
I've not see another, there are a few sisterships around. Tequila is listed
forsale, setup as a cruiser. Good fast boats, well made, can be a bit difficult
to sail. You gotta love running backs and big sails. Double handing Waka Waka
Sailing is a real good time".
