lucked into a bunch of teak planks 5'' to 7 1/2'' wide BY 1'' THICK
so the boat will get teak seats 3 and bulkheads to retain foam flotation under the seats
rudder, lee boards ect will be teak too

ALL THE WOOD, SAILS AND RIG, BLOCKS ECT HAVE BEEN RECYCLED FROM OTHER BOATS
SO NO NEW WOOD WAS USED

IF YOU MUST HAVE ROLLER unfurling [AND IT WILL AT THE WORST TIME ] USE A SLOTTED FOIL so you can change sails eazy and get the sail off the stay for storage/storms you can get a genny with reef points not idea but better then a part rolled up sail I would go big for a light air sail 140-170 a 110 ji...
