1967 Pearson Vanguard

[Acedude]

Can anyone give me a pros and cons list for the 1967 pearson vanguard?

I have visited the internet and cruising forums as well as pearson vanguard at pearsonvanguard.org,

which has been really helpful.

What I am looking for is more along the lines of seaworthiness, as well as the ability to be sailed in blue (and possibly green, you never know) water and if anyone has any suggestions on upgrades or improvements.

Overall:
- No blisters/osmosis
- pettit unepoxy bottom paint 2008, going to repaint next month.
- new standing rigging
- diesel engine, atomic gas engine has been removed
- putting in new running rigging.
- self-steering vane
- deck is being sanded and repainted

So, pros and cons as well as suggesting upgrades or improvements.

thanks in advance.
