:D Don’t be so hasty. He also posted “we will get her out on the water this year! I'll start a new post to elicit help and advice for all the work ahead of us.”

Yes, sorry to disappoint @dlandersson but the 2026 plan is to get her back on the water and under sail! Do check your interior, ours was a very definite shade of beige. I'll post some pics of the repaint once I've cleaned her up a bit. I still haven't figured out what to do about the beige carpet siding.

Jolly Dodger,

There are ways a lot less drastic than repainting the interior to offset the drab beige interior.

As a retired interior interior designer (last 17 years of my career). Make your eyes focus on something else. I put in bold carpeting and hung things. The carpet on the walls makes it easy to use Velcro.

I have recently added this. There are ways to get away from the drab.

Maybe lean into it and add a matching nav station to really catch the eye?
