Hello out there, My first time on this site. My 27 Catalina is in sad shape from some storms that have passed through here. The last one blew another boat into mine break me loose from my mooring, poking out a cabin windo and making pretzels out of a stanchion. It is time for a refurbish of the entire boat. I must refinish the hull (removing dings) and the deck looks like alligator hide. Also all the wiring in the mast needs replacing. Is there any place that sells stantions at a reasonable price or will they have to be custom made? The pulpit rail is bent. Can it be straigtened? How does the mast connect to the hull? Do I need to drop the mast to rewire? The keel mounting nuts in the bilge are rusty. Is the keel in danger of falling off? Is there a place to buy a new cabin window? If anyone out there can help me out I would really be gratefull. I've got to get this boat feeling better and get it back to the Bahamas. Don Howle in St. Augustine............
