Might be worth getting an idea of what exactly is meant by 'TLC' before you travel to view her.

Very pretty I wonder when the photos were taken. Nanni engine a nice to have. For someone with the golden triangle of time/skills/money that could be a nice, relatively manageable, project by the looks of it...

Very pretty, but I'd put money on her not looking like that now.
I do hope she finds someone, but it won't be me. I don't have the right kind of insanity
I fear that golden triangle is actually a quadrilateral. The ingredient you've missed is a certain kind of insanity which is essential for any wooden boat.

What level of insanity do you think would be necessary to take on three wooden boats?Very pretty, but I'd put money on her not looking like that now.

Seems fair. Will I be incarcerated with a tin of varnish and a lump of Stockholm tar, or am I expected to go completely 'cold turkey'?" What level of insanity do you think would be necessary to take on three wooden boats? "

Each to their own. Somewhat ugly duckling to my eyes, but only opinion that matters is of a potential buyer

No. The current treatment is enforced viewing of an 18 hour video on the manufacturing processes of various European Fibre glass Yachts interspersed with continual sound recordings on the benefits of Bulb keels, Hydrofoils, and Dyneema standing rigging.

It is indeed pleasant to look upon
. . . from a distance!
I am forever grateful for those who maintain wooden and other handsome boats for myself and others to admire without the time, cost and aggravation penalty involved in their ownership.
(I realise that puts me uncomfortably close to those who insist on living in bungalows with picture windows though which they can admire the quaint cottages which give their chosen village its character.

I just really like this interior. And lifting keel. And raised side decks so you have enough headroom above the seating. And it doesn't shed plastic everywhere it goes.

I think its an ideal boat for estuary pottering and coast hopping. Which is probably why it reminds me of Maurice Griffiths designs and who was that other east coast rivers designer? Boats for sitting at anchor on a blustery day with a good book waiting for a weather window but not really bothered if it doesn't come as the mission was already accomplished by being on the boat.
