Dave, “Scope of Work” is an apt name for what I was attempting to describe.
Fortunately for Calypso I enjoy working on a boat *almost* as much as sailing. Also, the way Calypso was built is conducive to DIY projects. There is no headliner, most of the interior is painted white, and the basic nature of a 70’s race interior give great access to the likely trouble spots. The interior is “stick built” meaning there is no pan liner. All the bulkheads, sole supports, and furniture are painted wood allowing for easy modifications or repairs. Looking back I now wish we had rented a shed and moved the boat inland to allow more industrial equipment use along the use of spray paint guns. I’m not sure we would have dropped the keel but it would have been a close call. Having the mast out would have greatly simplified the repairs to the mast collar area. Calypso’s co-owner and I have been intentionally vague with our wives about a finish date (and project cost) but we are hoping for a late 2016 return to sailing. (That sound you hear is me knocking on wood.)

I agree with Martin that my tool recommendations may not be suitable for those who do not need nor want a complete deck redo. I sort of recognized that dynamic when I was putting the blog post together but I was moving fast. I’m fortunate that I have the means, time and location to achieve my goals. I think I’m making up for all those years when I raced my (other) boat while living in a small condo. I didn’t have the tools or space to store them so like many listers, I had to sort of make do either in a slip or in the short time period that the boat was hauled prior to race season in the Spring. I know how frustrating that can be. Being able to approach this rebuild from a professional perspective makes things easier. Still, with some patience and the smaller tools I think the job can be done fairly neatly with good results by most.
