Refitting and restoring a 47-year-old Irwin Citation 34 sailboat. Originally, this blog was created to motivate myself to continue this challenging project. It documents the DIY work step by step, done almost entirely single-handed. My goal is to make the boat seaworthy again, return her to salt water and sail. Sail more and sail seas.
