good work on the winch and scuppers...
ditto pclarksurf's advice, follow mainsail's methods...potting the holes, rebedding ALL deck penetrations with butyl tape is on my winter to-do list, chainplates, lifeline stantions, cleats, handrails, etc., inspect/fix any core rot in the process... here's a link:

regarding your standing rigging, very scary looking from my limited experience, replace all of it... mine's an '84 with limited signs of wear, but it's all likely going to be replaced, just given it's age....you don't wanna lose your mast due to 40 year old rigging!
