I have just purchased a 1982 Montego 20. This is my first sailboat, and it appears to my untrained eye to be in fair shape. It's supposedly spent most of its life on a trailer and being used for weekend outings. It has a 2012 Shore Land'r trailer that is in good shape. My first question is where can I find rigging instructions. It all seems to be there, but I want to learn how to set up while it's still on shore.
Second question, how does one know if it needs new gelcoat or if I can just clean up the hull and put bottom paint on it? Again, it looks pretty good to me. No obvious cracks or chips, and how do you paint where the boat is sitting on a cradle/stand?
