I‘m working on a Shark 24, converting it to an ocean going cruiser, yes, nuts as well, but it‘s my passion to redesign and build and it‘s a big part of a longer journey. As the Shark originally has a bulkhead which supports the mast, but blocks half of the front portlights, I‘ll be putting in two stainless compression posts and glass in a new bulkhead only to the hight of the deck, it will be way stronger and free up the line of sight inside an allready small boat. Just an idea, maybe it helps 😊
I was looking for a Cape Dory a year ago, and this one popped up on my computer. Asked my wife what about a project? She said NO! So I bought a project 28 instead. I vote excellent opportunity. Good luck with your project and look forward to seeing updates.
Oh it’s a project all right You do seem to have a set up to work on her Don’t cut her up , they’re only so many left Many would be interested in the details of those chain plates
