After completing the jobs necessary to safely sail the boat coastwise and make her livable at a basic level, we prioritized a list of projects necessary to bring the boat back up to an acceptable degree of offshore worthiness. We also wanted to convert her back to the cutter rig she was originally designed for, so we could take advantage of that rig’s easier offshore sail handling and speed. Finally, we needed to add features we felt would make the boat easier to live aboard and sail for long periods of time.

The list seems endless. Every time we cross something off the list, it seems we think of two more to add. The pictures below are a sampling.
