I am a novice sailor that recently came across a deal on a 1973 23foot oday that was too good to pass up. The problem is. There is ALOT that I dont know about maintaining a sailboat. In addition, I really would like to set it up so that I can sail it by myself. (I am a small female & have a VERY hard time getting the main sail up by myself). Basically, I am looking for advice on finding someone (preferably in Suffolk County on Long Island in NY) that services sailboats. I would like to hire someone that could check it over & make sure that everything is safe & assembled properly as well as installing what ever I may need to help me sail it alone. I would appreciate any advice you can provide. Please reply to me via e-mail me at LTurek13@aol.com.
