GONZO my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat

GONZO my Freedom 25 yacht:
This blog will document the continued restoration of my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat, along with all the experiences I have. I purchased my F25 in the winter of 2009 from the 3rd owner who had the boat in NH. Gonzo has a composite rotating winged mast, yanmar inboard diesel, a Gun Mount spinnaker pole and staysail. This is my 1st cruising sailboat and I look forward to learning how to maintain and slowly restore and sail in Narraganset.

Tiller service:


Think this is a common item on Freedom 25's
a nice large tiller, with varnish peeling
and wood started to break down















after a little sanding the tiller is starting to look pretty good, still needs more sanding and a few coats of varnish. I'm going to try some epoxy clear coat I use for garage floors.
This is test fit to make sure I don't fill any holes I need, I plan to add a Spinlock tiller extension, and a tiller controler.
