Well, I got the original year, so there were a few items:

a. Put on anchor roller (dealer installed)
b. Made a bottom step for swim ladder, and bought one other step from WM
c. Added Topping lift, but later decided it was more trouble than its benefit.

Other things I WOULD do:

a. Put a bowsprit on so I could run a jib for light air.
b. Learn to fly a spinnaker in light air...I hear there are some kinds that you can do that are workalikes for jibs but don't require changes in rigging.

Besides basically performing a spinnaker function in light air, one of these could save your bacon if you dismasted a long way from land - they don't need a stick to fly from...

Neato.

Seems like they need crew, and 5-7kts to open. Wonder if there could be a smaller one that would go for lighter air? Hey, I don't even know how to launch one, but am glad to see this. Thanks!
