How much did you pay? Swinomish has no emphasis on the O when pronounced by the way – just so ya know.

When I bought my 33-footer, I know the feeling and emotions of the "new owner" Congratulations, see you in Tahiti (joking) nine months later we were in the water. Good luck.

Congratulations!! I had a dream last weekend and woke up thinking I had bought a boat, was stressing about how I'm going to pay for dock fees, winter storage, maintenance etc….and then I thought….wait, what boat? That's how much I'm thinking about it! I'm looking for exactly the same boat as you. Great videos btw.
1. I'm pretty sure…that sea cock does have a valve, it's below the elbow, looks like the handle might've come off?
2. Congratulations again!!! Awesome boat, you must be so excited!!! Can't wait for more videos:)

Note on "no valve" there is a cylinder valve attached to that forward through/hull but I did not see the valve lever attached to it. Those are good valves and very serviceable. Move slowly to assess what you have lest you replace good parts with mediocre parts. Congratulations on the purchase. My W32 is on the hard in Blaine right now. Doing the same prep work as you for a 5-7 year goal of sailing away. Will spend more time in the PNW cutting my teeth in these conditions while I update the rig. See you in the Salish

What is the reading list on the table?

I think the diesel stove isnt too bad at all. You just need a new chimney. The piping and electrics should not be too much of a problem, just get the right gaskets. I would not change things that are not broken. Or get rid of stuff you dont have a replacement for yet. 2027 is a long time from now.

Maybe the first thing to do it get the boat out of the water and put on new antifouling and check the underside of the ship. That way you know for sure the boat is going to last.

Greetings,

Jeff

Very cool boat! Good luck, I'm sure you will learn a lot and hopefully you enjoy her. Fixing up my boat, I concentrated on fixing what had to be done to safely use her first. Then as I used her started making mods and improvements that seemed best for me and my use. Doing it that way seemed to make me bond with the boat and enjoy her more. Have fun!

You have a very fun and accommodating Seafarer now, but looking at the C - Chain Plate and that bulging, I'm afraid to tell you that you are in for a much bigger project than you may know. In Fact, you may find that entire section of hull rotten and too far gone to be fixed correctly to achieve your goal of a Worldly Cruiser.
I'm sure it can be patched/glassed up reasonably but you often find one bad spot leads to another and another until you find the money vs. value formula is very far upside down. If you are familiar with Jordan & Desiree in Atticus 1 ,, They rebuilt their Allied Seawind over a stretch only to later find rotten bulkheads as they prepared for a Pacific crossing. I honestly suggest patching up what you can and sailing her locally and having fun, but to invest all you have mentioned, i.e. Windvane and Lithium Batteries and Solar and new boom and replacing windlass system, fixing the wiring and through hull fittings and stove , ect ect , you are already in the 20k plus category. I'm going to venture and guess you paid around 4-5000$ for the boat initially ?? Well for 25k you could buy a turnkey Blue Water cruiser that is truly ready to safely make an ocean passage.
Regarding a Wind Vane, aint nobody giving them away under ambassador promos, that I can assure you.... Check out Wave Rover channel, Alan sells plans to build a very affordable and great performing unit for under $500. I just sold a new old stock Sail O Mat 605 for $3000. Wind Vanes are not cheap.
If you really hate that Boom furler, I'd but it or trade you for something you need more. I have been looking for that exact boom for a Cutter project i'm building.
Lastly ,, keep in mind getting Insurance for your boat. To get legit insurance, you'll need a proper survey, and with those chain plate issues and valveless thru hulls, a survey that is favourable will be very difficult. I wish you luck by all means and speaking from many a year of experience ,, don't open your wallet too wide on that vessel or a refit.
