A lot can happen in a year. I'd get a new survey... the deck could have delaminated in a year's time, if the wet deck above the head was left untreated.
Mildew and mold smells are also a bad indicator of water/moisture problems.
Here's what I see you needing to do from what you've posted so far.
You need to replace all of the standing rigging—replacing just the missing stay is probably a bad idea, as it is probably broken due to age, and the others are probably not far from it in condition.
You need to possibly re-core the deck in the area above the head.
You need a new boom, and possibly new running rigging—but won't really know without a current survey.
You need to re-do most of the interior, replace the cushions and take care of the wiring.
Both hatches leak, and may even need to be replaced.
Hmmm... how much were you planning on spending to refurbish this boat. The standing rigging alone is probably more than you're planning on spending. Also, have you examined the mast for any problems—like galvanic corrosion.
How old is the boat? If it hasn't been hauled in 4 years, it probably has some serious growth on the hull, as well as blisters and possibly osmosis of the hull. Barnacles and other marine growth can seriously damage the hull laminate.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
