The teak clad cockpit is in excellent condition. The exterior brightwork was sanded to bare wood and new coats of varnish built up to a high gloss. The salon doors were also sanded and revarnished (2024).
In 2018, the swim platform was extended, increasing the outdoor usable space. Also at this time, the underwater hull surface was brought down to bare gel coat, and two coats of Interlux epoxy 2000E barrier coat applied, then three coats of Micron CSC bottom paint.
