    refit for e-27

    i have just recently bought a 1973 e-27 that has been neglected for quite some time. I am not to sure what to check for on this boat to make sure that it is ready for sailing. I got a good deal on the boat because none of the cleats were backed by anything. Therefore one of these cleats were...
