First the trailer:
1. New bearings and races
2. New lights and wiring
3. Nose wheel and jack
4. Replaced the cable and tie downs
5. Added a safety chain
Now the boat (in no particular order):
1. Repaired sails
2. Upgraded stays & shrouds
3. Replaced all running rigging
4. Re-engineered rudder
5. Added portholes
6. Added a motor
7. Re-wired the bilge pump and running lights
8. Wired an anchor light
9. Added a compass and light
10. Added a marine radio and GPS
11. Added lazy jacks to make raising and lowering the sails easier
12. Installed a step and box for the mast
13. Installed a boom crutch
14. Designed and modified a tent for the cockpit
15 Designed a sun screen for lunchtime
16. Started filling holes and dings in the hull and deck
Not bad. and not much more to do.
Finish filling holes and sanding
Add a jib furling system
Paint and re-letter
