Ok,, there you are .. standing there, at a marina. *A 30' cruising sailboat

right in front of you. *She is in good shape, but very plain.

She does not have roller furling, bow roller with appropriate anchor,
.. just a whole bunch of stuff.

But:: she is solid, clean, she has been surveyed recently and
there is no wet deck or hull .. *the engine runs good ..

You say "how much" and the seller says "I want her gone" and
you say xxx and he says "she is yours"..

Remember;; this isn't happening just yet,, could happen in two weeks
though..

What would you attend to first.

She does not need paint or cosmetic fixings..

Bow roller? *Then furling?
And if you do this? *What do you do with the fore sail? *Jib/genoa.. does
the sail
need all kinds of fixing?

Any other ideas?

What about rigging? *Would you change if the survey said it was ok? *Would
you add
anything special?

What about bimini, or dodger?

Just wondering .. is all ..

bow roller.
the furling roller is a conveniance.
get the basics done then worry about the add on's.
lines, rigging, sails, engine, then the rest of the stuff
