Structural or complex improvements	i added two layers of woven roving starting at the keel area up to the water line level.completly redone the cabin area
The boat's best features	very stable-- easy to launch-easy to sail
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	the rudder is a pain--tighted the bolt to keep the rudder in the up position for launching and its hard to get down for sailing
Sailing characterisitcs	so far calm winds- nice days
Motoring characterisitcs	oh this is a blast--- using a ted williams 3 hp restored motor.no nutral no reverse. but believe it or not this little vintage motor does quite well
