You could switch to aluminium tube to improve the batten situation.

And basically start sailing to find out what you want from your Coromandel.

But consider yourself very lucky as the interior lining in the cabin seems to have been already removed - that is a very big task to sort out if peeling.

Congratulations!

I did not think of the positive about the inside being bare, definitely will be easier to insulate and carpet.

I've recently purchased a Coromandel, Emmelène, too. If you want any information about these little beauties, take a look at Richard Brooksby's blog, where he goes into great detail on the trials and tribulations of owning and sailing Tammy Norie. He hasn't posted anything new for some time, but what's there is immensely useful.

Hi, and thamks for your reply. I've been watching lots of Tmmy Norrie youtube vids, also Emmelene is in a few also. Definitely can’t wait to get Ajax out sailing. I have been struggling to get a sial maker to make a new sail, as most are busy until next year. My local guy has agreed to make me one using the old one( dont think its been well used,just uv damage) as a template. My batten’s have articulated joints in, so should alow some draft?. I dont like the way the sail is lashed to the baterns and a plastic pipe used as a retainer on opposite side, he said battern pockets would be alot more work. 

Hi all, I’ve just purchased a coramandle/ bit of a project. Wont take much to get her sailing, but new junk sail plus an outboard. I’ve done plenty of sailing in larger yachts but brought this to do the next jester Baltimore challenge after doing this years in my westerly fulmar. 
On my list to do : 

fix rubbing streak- new sail- outboard- deck paint- replace windows- insulation and carpet head lining- new cushions, or maybe leave it bare?. I also need to sort out a new yard made up as mines snapped with rot.

Then jester items as ais- wind self steering , probably go Hebridean- drouge- life raft.

Ive sold my fulmar now, and looking forward to some nice cheaper sailing.
