The work list
I made a list last night of the things the Buccaneer will need done.
1. Pump out
2. Tear out of cushions, old wood
3. Clean out / Dry out
4. Inspect/replace Sails
5. Replace Running Rigging (including trailer cable)
6. Inspect and test rig mast fittings
7. Inspect/replace wiring for all lights, install battery and charging lines
8. Repair loose deck fittings (including bow eye)
9. Install Winch and new fittings
10. Replace deck woodwork (grab handles, hatch rails, new hatch and door?)
11. Inspect/repair keel lock mechanism, smooth winch operation
12. Build new table, new gear locker (portside)
13. Build upper bunks
14. Build stove table and cockpit table
15. Build head cover/berth extension, head shelves
16. Build cooler hole under V
17. Build floor for cockpit locker
18. Build chart holders
19. New foam and covers
20. Outfit for sailing with safety gear, galley gear, navigation gear
We're going to try to save money where we can, but some of these items are going to cost us some primo coin to do right. I reserve high quality equipment for critical things, such as safety equipment, the running rigging and sails, and other structural issues. Cabinets and other woodwork can be done cheaply for now - but it's going to be a long winter and spring.

Restoring the Buccaneer
Troop 1183 has recently acquired a 22-foot Macgregor sailboat, to be used as the centerpiece of the 2011 High Adventure season.
On the outside, it looks pretty good... but inside, it's another story altogether.
Clearly, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
