Hello again; women haters, know it alls, never owned but
full of advice, and then there are the nuts/bolts/screws.. all loose..

And of course,, The Hubbard ... question; how many Hubbards are there?

This is your assignment ::

You have been given a Sabre 28. Model year 1976..

The boat is in ok shape... Hull sound, deck sound .. basic equipment ..

You have xxxx to spend.. think?? at least $15,000 ..

What equipment will you replace, add, get, .. etc ??

My list so far :: and remember, this comes from a Barnes and Noble book
..

Replace the standing and running rigging .. add two self tailing winches
.. upgrade the
anchor and anchor equipment .. sails .. furling for jib.. [ maybe, the
book says the
furling systems don't work the sail very well and a second smaller jib
will sail the boat better ]

What stuff would you EXPERTS get ..

The windvane steerer? Or electric stuff ?

what about engine upgrades ?/ batteries? solar/wind power ?






Ha! Liked the start of your post! Pretty accurate.
From what I understand the hypothetical situation to be is "Sailor-person"
has a 1973 28' Sabre AND 15 "boat bucks"?

Reading comprehension is not your forté, it would seem: "You have been given
a Sabre 28. Model year 1976.."

What I think "Sailor-person" should do is, through talking to some decent
middle of the road type (meaning somewhere between the crested blazer
wearing jerks and the bar clinging drunks) sailors, is find a reputable
surveyor and spend about 1/2 a boat buck for a solid evaluation of that
vessel and it's systems.

My gawd, here we go again with the surveyor crap. Forget about the surveyor.
She doesn't need one and she doesn't want one. The boat was given to her.
She is asking how to spend 15K on upgrades. Try to keep up.

snipped continued obsession with unnecessary surveyor fetish
