Thanks a ton Voodoo. I will keep the galvanic action in mind. I knew it was a concern for saltwater boats but apparently it is for freshwater as well. I'm planning to do new running rigging (the old stuff really stinks) and mast step repair this year before sailing it, since so many people...

I've never sailed anything before - only crewed on larger boats in Lake Michigan. Should be quite an adventure! I'll post some pics when I get some work done.
