Yesterday I did a little work on the boat per Paul's recommendations. Sawed an inch off a bolt on the bottom of the mast that lines or people could get caught on. Taped the frayed end of a stay that was pretty sharp. Replaced a bolt holding the forstay with a clevis pin. Loaded the boat with cushions and extras.
There's a few things I need to do yet which became apparent when we took her out:
-adjust the attachment points on the transom for the mainsheet purchase. As it is, the mainsheet puts pressure on the rudder when the boom is out
-install a topping lift that doesn't involve an eyebolt sticking out of the top of the mast to starboard
-add another hank to the jib tack to keep it from falling off with the extension to keep the jib off of the bow pulpit
-replace the jib sheet. The current one is old, stiff, and too large for the clam cleats.
-consider repositioning the jib sheet fairleads for a better angle
