Work

The bottom was stripped and refinished, old gelcoat and some glass was removed
and replaced with layers of cloth saturated in epoxy, then fared and sealed with
epoxy barrier coats.

The bulkhead under the mizzen mast was replaced.

The two supports in the cabin that support the deck stepped mast were replaced
with heavy stainless steel posts.

All thru hulls replaced with heavy bronze fittings.

All chain plates replaced with custom made double thickness stainless steel.

The rudder is fiberglass, most of the Reliants boats were built with a wooden
rudder.

The original topsides gelcoat is still holding up well. The teak deck is mostly
original with the aft section replaced using the original pieces as templates.
One feature of her teak deck construction was the fastening of the teak with
machine screws into solid glass preventing leaks and possible rotten decks.
(This detail among other are details on her original drawings.) There does not
appear to be any soft cores or rot anywhere on the boat.

Electrical system was upgraded with a Heart Interface charging system.
