areas needing attention: cabin top needs repainting; minor cosmetics such as Cetol on the wood; ceramic bowl of head needs to be replaced as there is a crack in the base; workbench countertop in forepeak needs to be replaced; sail covers are being replaced as well as foredeck covers and lee cloths.
This boat has simple systems, nothing fancy, but nothing ever breaks either. She is dry, in the cabin, in the bilge and generally while sailing. Large cockpit drains and deck scuppers. She is safe, stoutly built and has a comfortable motion in a sea; easily handled, sailed; behaves at anchor and doesn't wander all over the place.
