Great source of information and his videos are very well done. On the downside, I was really hoping I had absolutely no work to do on a Contessa 32. now after watching the list is getting bigger and bigger. Oh strangly enough he was the other side of a fence doing this when I was on the Hamble. wish id known.

Exactly. Anybody who posts here asking for advice on buying and refitting a 40+ year old boat that has not been regularly maintained/upgraded should be directed to videos like this. Easy to see how refurbished CO32s can cost £100k+ and complete new builds close to twice that.

Absolutely. but its even more astonishing watching people paying huge amounts of money upgrading 40 year old boats, when the costs far exceed potential resale values, but thats boats for you. spend your money wisely. As they say, no such thing as a cheap boat.

Old boats. There are Twisters, and then there are Twisters. same as any other production boat. What you really want to finish up with really dictates what on
Pro repairing a contessa 32,interesting for boat restorers,IMO. I think that’s the title he has a company called Butler Sail. No relation?
