Howdy Capt. Welcome to the club. There is a lot of info on this site, forums, archives search, more experienced sailors, not me, but I am a very experienced mechanic and I have done all the refurb on my 37. Way too much,LOL. Anyways, if any questions don't hesitate to ask. I bought mine about 3.5 years ago and sometimes do repairs on the fly, since I would rather sail than sit at a dock. Still have a long way to go, but I know my boat from stem to stern and wouldn't have it any other way. Happy sailing.
