Congratulations. Seawind ketches are legendary. You can easily get by without a full survey. Talk to a good sailmaker, a rigger, a marine mechanic and a boatbuilder, and they'll tell you what to look for and how to fix it. If you have a diesel, spend an hour with a diesel mechanic going over the equipment and the bleed method. The rigger will point out the best methods of setting up the rig for now and the future, according to your budget and your sailing skills. Same with the sailmaker. Just talk to the experts, save yourself a lot of time and expensive mistakes.
