3. Replace all cleats with bowsies CL
4. Rework the masthead attachment for jib uphaul and forestay and backstay to make the mast rake more easily adjustable - See photo below.
5 Replace stock vang with the "fuel filter" modification, keeping the stock connectors CL Do a Google search for it. It is in the old SeaWind Express Tech Tips
6. Use the old Tech Tips modifications for both Jib and Main outhauls CL See second photo below.
7. Add a topping lift NL
8. Add paneled sails NL
9. Retrofit a new keel (DragonFlite 95 would be easy to do) but keep the stock fin box. NL
10. At the same time as 9, add a better shaped bulb. NL
11. Add a larger rudder with a NACA 0008 or 0010 profile NL
12. Replace the mast with a spiral wrapped carbon fiber US1M mast and use US1M Square topped paneled sails with carbon tube booms. NL
13. At the same time as 12, reenforce all deck fittings with backing plates CL
(When adding the new keel & bulb keep the max depth at 14.25" or less to keep the boat legal in the US1M class)
(When using new sails, be sure the total area and head size fits within the US1M rules)
After all of this if you kept the boat within the US1M rules, you would basically have a legal US1M boat with a slightly heavier than normal hull and about $800 into the modifications, not counting the cost of the original boat. At that point I would have built a modern design US1M hull and use hardware on it.
One of the projects on my workbench is a SeaWind hull with a damaged deck that was given to me. I am going to slightly modify the stern section (so as not to violate the intellectual property rights of Koysho) and use it as a plug to make an inexpensive US1M hulls for some club members. It won't be a top tier competitive boat, but it inexpensive hardware it will get them started in that class.
Several years ago there was a German company that did most of the modifications I listed above and there was a dramatic improvement in the boat's performance. Of course its price reflected the cost of the new parts and labor. I seem to recall it was in the $1,800 USD range.
