This blog will follow the refurbishment of a 1977 San Juan 26 sailboat. In 1992, I bought the book titled "upgrading and Refurbishing the Older Fiberglass Sailboat" by W.D. Booth, with the dream of . . . well . . . upgrading and refurbishing an older fiberglass sailboat. Eighteen years later, I am finally getting started. I bought the boat on ebay without looking at it - the price was right. It was on a trailer, so I had it hauled up to Virginia, where it sits next to the house ready to be upgraded and refurbished. The hull is in good shape and it has an almost new 4-stroke Yamaha 9.9hp high thrust outboard. Good start, but there is a lot to do.
