Gosh what an absolute gift !

Or maybe not . It has to move from a private residence (crane and transport plus storage at fitout site) .Plus cost of building (resin maybe out of date ply maybe inferior stuff) Plus cost of upholstery. So costs are already rackin' up . Not to mention Its also a 30year old boat when its finished . Plus boat prices are falling fast (I found out to my cost !!)

Agree. Crane and transport from IOW minimum £1000. Couple of year's part time work and probably £10k to put it together. All for a middling 30 year old boat. If you enjoy battling to build a boat more than sailing, then a donation to the RNLI and it might be worth taking on.
