Our family recently purchased a 1979 Mariner 36 sailboat (hull #12). It is currently on land awaiting repairs to the deck which has a rotten core. As you can see we have renamed her and are awaiting the updated coast guard documentation. There is a lengthy list of repairs which should be complete by sometime in august. I'll be documenting everything here. After almost 5 years out of the water with no maintenance she is in amazingly good condition.

Here is a partial list of items to be done:

• Rotton deck core down the full length of both sides of the cabin
• Forward most bulkhead is rotten
• Refinish Interior and Exterior Teak
• Pieces of the stainless steel rub rail are detached or gone
• Some of the navigation lights don't work
• Primary, secondary and shower bilge pumps are bad
• Several sea cocks are rusted
• Electrical system, both AC and DC, is a total mess
• LP solenoid is bad
