Assuming the hull is fair and stiff, I'd upgrade the following:
- Centerboard and rudder, including the rudder head
- Proctor Mast, Boom and Spinnaker pole
- Two new suits of sails: Main, Jib and Spinnaker from Cameron Sails (my local loft), North Sails or Jotz.
- Harken blocks, fairleads, etc., all around.
- Galvanized trailer with bearing buddies and extra bunks designed to distribute load evenly for long road trips.
- Boat covers from Sailors' Tailor to cover both top and bottom of the boat.
- Ritchie tactician compass, or perhaps a tack-tic micro.
-Davis Windex for the masthead
Since I don't sail in conditions where I'd use them, I wouldn't bother with a motor, reefing points, etc.
