I viewed her on the 5th of January, the low loader deliverered her yesterday.
I have been away for most of January, so I had to co-ordinate the transportation from Jersey. This involved a launch from Salcome, a sail around to Darthaven, derigging, liftout onto trailer, and delivery to Portland. This all went spiffingly well with a great deal of help from Network Yacht Brokers, and my debit card. If all goes well I will post some piccies in April when she's relaunched.

ooh. Doesn't look like *too* much work? I mean, if you make it all reliable electrics and perfect rigging it er won't be "original" will it...?

Hope things keep going to plan

I for one would be interested in following the work as you do it.

Smoke and mirrors, and the camera lens deceives. Now thats got me thinking, In fact I may not do her up at all.
I shall take some nice piccies, air brush them, post them on here and..... Voila!

Well done! I am boatless currently and I just know I'll be a tad rueful when the early spring comes. The previous thread on Westerley Storms seemed to be very positive so I expect you have a good boat.

Would you care to let us know at least roughly how much you paid - market intelligence is always useful! Don't worry if not and have a great year 'storming'.

Well! I paid a lot less than the asking price, dunno if this will help, but I intend to spend around 8/10k on her and then I expect to have a nice boat.
Of course it won't then be original.

Congrats - generally a stressful time. So sit back and just enjoy the completion of the first stage. Hope to see you around this year then. !!
