I keep dreaming of wooden boat.

I'm with Kilter. No significant leaks (stern gland same goes for GRP) full head room (Ok OK..) Great sailing, lots of looks etc etc. I week out of the water (the last one) to A/f, touch up topsides, replace anodes. Done in June for good weather and massive haulout discounts (£262) for a week out.

And lots of varnishing, but mostly in the shed at home, so weather doesn't matter too much.

Convinced yet?

I wish I hadn't started reading & commenting on this thread. Bu&&er off! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I am in a very vulnerable position here with my boat money sitting in the bank earning virtually no interest.

Now where is Full Circle - he always brings things back to earth!

so do i assume correctly that "money in the bank" refers to an Ins pay-out /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Perhaps this will help!

A question from the uninitiated - why would you do that kind of repair while afloat? - or maybe mega kudos to you, did you carry out the repair whilst underway!
 
Aha, good news I see before me /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Now being serious for a second, right, that's done, if you want to be back out sailing this season, go for plastic, you get so much more boat for your money for the same condition /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Tomorrow, Full Circle will be in the land of skirts. He has been absent trying to catch up with work to allow him to go with a clear conscience.


Anyway, I bring the following for your amusement.

It is on Boat/Shed dot com. Offers invited for this wonderful restoration opportunity with free mud berth on the Crouch.

As you have obviously forfeited the right to sail ever again due to your overarching reticence to sensibly purchase a sub 30 foot boat which can be prepared and sailed on JAC or Jester adventures.


Here is one we completed in 8 weeks earlier.......
