Final update, after laying up the hull over the winter time I got started on refinishing all the wood work, repairing and re-rigging the mast, going through the sails and weather cover.
Couple weeks ago I pulled the boat back to my house and finally got started on the re-assembly. Now the final product turned out far better than I had even hoped it would. She looks essentially brand new and I never figured that considering this was my first crack at restoring something like this. All the repair work came out great (can't even notice where I had to fix things) and the full FG coated cockpit turned out beautiful. Now all I have to do is wait for the registration to come in and my new sails to show up and that's pretty much it. Whew, lots of work, but it's great to see the final product.
