Rigging was upgraded and changed from Navtech compression fittings to offshore rated fittings. I had problems with the Navtech ones that were on the boat, they had hairline fractures and my surveyor thinks they came from the person who did the swagging but he was in shock that each one had cracks. They were on both sides of lower shrouds.
Bilges were upgraded to 1500gpi in engine room and main salon and shower room. Fitted the port outside locker with new engel freezer. I made the cockpit drains twice the size. I also have 75 gallons of water tanks on starboard main salon and port side V-berth. New S1 wheel pilot and Monitor Windvane to be added in the next couple of weeks. I will lose the stern ladder but plan to add one on later to the port or starboard side.
New dodger along with changing the wire to rope halyards to all rope.
Upgraded 12v wiring and made fittings for 12v appliances.
Added 3rd battery, never can have too much juice.
New solar panels on stern rails to minimize running engine when not necessary.
I hope this helps.
