Greetings Once More !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
--------------------------------------------------------

1-The horizontal wooden laminate along the upper cabin window areas is dela=
minating due to who knows what by previous owners. The area below the stove=
collects rainwater=2C as well as beneath the engine. Experience with these=
problems would be appreciated.

2-Should I caulk around the window exteriors and with what ?

3-I removed to reweld the bow pulpit support which was broken when the boat=
was acqured. Though repaired with stainless=2C it is showing signs of corr=
osion. Suggestions ? Also=2C the deck brackets into which the two side rail=
s of the pulpit are corroded. Where do you suggest I obtain replacements an=
d what reattaching procedure do you recommend ?

4-The deck and topsides are now chalky. Easiest=2C least expensive suggeste=
d remedy ?

5-I have acquired a bimini and need stainless brackets to mount its two fra=
mes. Recommended source and mounting procedure=2C please ? I'd also like to=
acquire a dodger which will now have to attach to the existing bimini. Rec=
ommendations for lowest cost option ?

6-Has anyone installed a chain locker in the foredeck ? My intent is cruisi=
ng=2C not racing=2C of course.

7-The rudder mounting components must be entirely redone. Is the S.African =
purveyor still in business and the recommended source ?

8-Though the standing rigging is original rod=2C this boat has been used vi=
rtually none in its lifetime.
Is the rod shot and if not=2C is there a safe inexpensive way to test it ? =
Not being a racer=2C if it is to be replaced it would be wire=2C unless som=
eone tells me why not. What size and kind of wire is recommended=2C please=
=2C as I plan on carrying wire spares in cruising but would like to use the=
rod if sensible.

9-Is anyone using baby stays or similar=2C and yes or no=2C what is the thi=
nking on such=2C please ?  =20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------------------------------------------

The boat=2C a Frers 33 with original factory bulb keel=2C is currently in d=
ry dock in Atlanta=2C not a salt water sailing environment=2C which is its =
intended future use=2C if it matters in your considerations.

As always=2C appreciatively=2C
