As it stands right now, the big projects ahead include sanding the starboard side of the hull and the cabin house, filling any dings in the hull and then fairing it, brightening the teak, prepping the non-skip areas for paint, priming everything, painting, sanding and painting the bottom (the existing bottom is not in bad condition), rebedding the chainplates and cabin windows, and varnishing the teak. For the cabin, the woodwork needs to be varnished (it has already been stripped and prepped), new cushions must be fabricated, bilge needs to be painted, cabin paint needs to be touched up and all new (but basic) wiring needs to go in.
While it seems like a lot, I think once the ball is rolling it should get moving pretty fast, and there aren't any major structural projects left - its all just finish work now to get this beauty shining again.
Hopefully I will have more frequent updates soon as work picks up again.
Here's a picture of what she'll hopefully look like soon, just imagine it in red...
