[C38] Under Contract - Some questions

[Daniel Haughey]

Hi Guys,
After an unusual round of interactions, I've finally come to terms on a price and about to sign a P&S and schedule a pre purchase survey.  I'm pretty excited about the prospect but, still willing to walk away if the survey goes bad, (or worse than I have imagined).
Anyway, just trying to gather some info about things we'd need pretty quickly if the deal goes thru.
1. New standing rigging and a roller fuler    I'm looking at a Profurl on closeout from Defender currently and I'm going to try and contact the guy that rerigged my previous boat     for the standing rigging.  Any insights or comment here?

2.  I believe it will need a new headsail pretty quickly too.  when the seller says it is "fair" it needs replaced...  I see some available on       line for delivery.  Is that a good idea?  We're not racers but we like spirited sailing and don't really go home at 25knots...  I'm       thinking a 135 working sail will do us nicely.
3. A bimini is really important to us.  It this something we can get from an on line source?  Or, is that a bad idea?
4. The mast step seems to need attention.  I think someone here has a pretty detailed how to on that.  The existing one seems to be     a shaped block of wood.  Any good pointers here or where I could find that how to?
5. Any particular things or areas of focus I should make the surveyor aware of?
Thanks for any comments, suggestions or insights guys.
