OP seems to be having problems, but this appears to be his site:

Really informative site. Not a ,job for the faint hearted but looks like somebody who has a track record and ability to do these things properly.
Should be a great boat when finished

Interesting thread which I first read months ago, but what are all the deleted posts about?

As a user new to the forum, Steel Windrunner's posts will be subject to moderator approval.

I wonder if he doesn't realise this and, thinking "why aren't my posts showing up?", is deleting them before they're approved?

This amazing work but in the end you got to do it for love! It makes no sense to me to rescue a boat in such an advanced state of decay when there are so many other equally good boats on the market. Anyway I can only admire his skills and dtermination.

Does any one know about the yacht in the car park at Chichester mariner ?
My son likes the look of it but he has a simplistic view point HE WOULDN'T BE WELDING IT

It seems there's a long way to go yet http://www.steelwindrunner.co.uk/435926229

Good luck to the guy doing it, but I'm glad it isn't me. I can't help thinking it would have been easier to build a new hull from scratch and use the bits from the old one.

A bit like Leo Sampson who's rebuilding the Talley Ho ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA ), he's a nutter to take on such a horrendous job, but I admire such nutters.
