Two coats of wax, touched up bottom paint, repainted water line, took the exterior woodwork to bare teak and gave it 2 coats of Cetol Light and 2 coats of Cetol Gloss, put bushings in the rudder, painted the rudder housing, and a few other things.

Very nice, Matt. Love the wide red bootstripe. I didn't know the later 23's used a solid rod bobstay. I changed mine to stainless steel chain...I like the old school look and now I have the original as a backup.

She looks ready to go swimming!  All your work is paying off.

I am out sailing today. Spending the night in Nomini Bay.  What a beautifully sail with winds out of the south at 10-15 with a few higher gusts.  I hit 6.1 knots at one point on the GPS.  I also saw a few AIS targets on the GPS and VHF.  Loving life right now.  It is nice and peaceful at anchor right now. 

The solid bobstay was an upgrade last year because a wire separated in the old one. Red bootstripe was done by someone else and not sure when it was done but it is a vinyl sticker. 

I will post more later on.

Looking fine.  On a dual-axle trailer...very nice...and is that a shore power jack I see there?  Very tidy little cruiser.  Well done!

Thanks for the compliments.

I am really happy with where she is at right now on the things that I wanted to do to her.  I just got my two brand new jib sheet cars from Gaurhauser and they look great.  I have already had her out for a test sail.  In two weeks I leave for a long trip out in the Chesapeake with her.
