I just bought my first sailboat, I've done lots of sailing on other folks boats, but never one of my own. I now own the M15 hull 336. It's been sitting in a garage for 20 years or so and then the water on the Columbia for 4 months, and the hull got fouled. and the teak got faded. other then that it seems newish and very very stock. This one comes right out of the brochure. If ya all have time for a couple of questions here they are:

Whats a good way to clean a fresh water fouled hull?

There are probably wars on this one but: What rigging changes or addition are useful on a stock 1985 M15? I'm thinking tracks and cars on the cabin to help control the Jib's shape. And a slab reefing line.
