> Propane tanks, location, options
I have two 20 pound tanks. At anchor/nearshore they live strapped outboard
on the pushpit. Offshore they are strapped down over the lazzarette. If I
had it to do over again, I'd get 10 pounders.
> Keel bolts, bilge plywood sole repairs

Other tech details that may be of interest.
> Windlass - where/how best to install.
I make my wife haul the anchor by hand. YMMV
> Crack/leaks at chainplates
My boat is '79 and I am the sixth owner. Had a leak, rebedded. No leak.
> Worn rudder tube (check if cap moves 1/8" or more)
Repair details in the above archive. Graphite/epoxy might make a better
tube. See Gudgeon Bros. website
> Baby stay/track
Not needed.
Check the tabs between the hull and liner!
