well done, Pete
My boat is a '81 that was almost sunk when I rescued it from its mooring. Cockpit drains were stopped up and water flowed over the locker and into the hull, in addition to other leaks. My son and I removed over 200 pounds of barnacles from this little hull before hauling it home to NC. I have gotten it into sailing condition with the hull exterior in good shape and some necessary work on the inside. The centerboard was removed and redone, mounting hole, cable, etc. Everything on the deck leaked and all was removed and reset. One difficult leak to find was at the drain hole in the anchor well which let water in behind the liner. The work is nothing like yours so far Pete, but you inspire me for another go at it. I think I will work on it in bits. Electrical system is shambles and I will copy your panel location and rewire it. One question is about the sails. I got only one headsail with the boat. It is 25' on the luff, 24' on the leech and 9' 5" on the foot. I have not been able to find out the size of the second jib as I assume there is one. Can anyone provide me with these dimensions? There is a spinaker which appears to be the only thing on the boat not well used. Rooster is the name of the boat, by the way.
