[quote=smfinley]I agree with Hullflyer, the first thing you should buy is new standing rigging. Everything may look fine, but knowing they are in good shape is worth the price. Has the boat ever been in salt water? After the standing rigging then you need a good PFD, one that is comfortable so you will wear it. I also like the kayak style, but they are more expensive if you are on a small budget.
After that it kind of depends on the condition of the boat and where you are sailing. A VHF radio is a good idea for large bodies of water. Make sure you have a righting system and practice using it. A good polish on the gelcoat will do wonders for how the boat looks.[/quote]
