I have owned a Commander for 3 years. I haven't done much too it apart from varnishing the boards, painting the  bottom and hull, and waxing. I have a friend interested in helping me do some minor restoration -- but where do I start? The blocks are original and probably should be retained; the lines are old, the stanchions should be replaced or retightened, etc. etc. Any suggestions? As we have winter on Long Island I have a short fall and spring for doing modest improvements.

Where can I buy a replacement stanchion and plates? The places mentioned in earlier postings appear to be out of business. thanks.

While on a business trip, my boat slipped its moorings. It's basically ok but there's a small (5x5 inches?) dent in the keel. What's the best way to repair this?
