Project Hillyard

[halb]

A live aboard on the Tamar is wanting rid of his Hillyard 20 ton, 40 ft boat, he now has a new to him a 36th tri to live on and I have been asked to help him offload it.
The boat is on the water and the hull is essentially sound, however the deck and interior is not, mast, boom etc very good, the Mercedes engine is working, so is the baby Blake heads.
If there is anyone interested, please pm me.

Restoring a wooden boat can bring meaning to ones life with satisfaction and pleasure as long as its not for money .

Sounds like 'Corsaro' that used to be moored just upstream of the Tamar bridge? I had seen her when she was out the water at QAB, and she was too much for us then, we chose to go and buy a ready to go and VGC 12 ton Hillyard instead. Saw Corsaro years later on that river mooring and she didnt look too bad. Now, I would always buy a boat in the best condition possible whether it be wood or any other material but when I was younger and had more energy it would only have been wood and not bothered too much on the condition.
