Last fall I picked up a 1974 O’Day 20 cheap.
Took the bow pulpit off and tucked her into my garage to start the work. Started in the bow and all interior wood replaced as it was rotten. All teak redone with Captains Varnish. New hatch board, replaced all through hull interior plywood reinforcements. New sails, rigging and motor. More was done but for the sake of brevity you get the gist.
Have now had her out a few times to sail which is satisfying. Likes heavy wind which is curious.
Anyone else ever done a restoration like this? It would be fun to hear from you. It would be fun to chat with other 20 owners.
Thanks,
Scott
