One of the first jobs was to compound the hull and get rid of the dirt and dull finish the gelcoat had got from years of lack of maintenance of the hull.
The next job was to sort out the wiring and the swtich panel and the general electrics which are in a bit of a mess after years of adding euipment year after year and not up rating the electrical system to cope with the added drain on the battery.
1980's electricial system a litte basic at best.
Deck fitting for the masthead light trapped under the mast base
Mast light wires that were never wired up
The VHF cable visble but not te deck socket wire
A bit of added on electrics, not the way ahead, if you need to add systems make the wiring as neat as possible and as short a run to sop voltage drop.
A mass of earth wires back to the battery when one heavy duty cable will do the job and be neaer and safer.
More added electrics
Engine in good order just needs a good general look over and any problems sorted out when it is recomissioned
One of the lease favour jobs re-pumping the toilet pipewor and change the seacooks for new skin fittings
Not a lot of room to get at the skin fittings to remove them from this area
A cooker that as seen better days and is in need of upgrading to a modern cooker and grill and an overhaul of the whole of the gas system m bottle to cooker.
