They buy a house near a quaint boatyard but the reality of the noise from power planes etc,smell of grp,whatever they realize will devalue their property or disturb their afternoons in the garden.

The forced closure of traditional boat yards has been going on for many years now.
In general, the English law of “nuisance”, which is what we are concerned with, does indeed say that a plaintiff who “comes to the nuisance” by buying a property affected by the nuisance, whatever it is, from a neighbour’s property, cannot complain about it. You cannot buy a house next to a pig farm and then compel your neighbours to stop being pig farmers because you don’t like the smell.
But, for some reason that I have forgotten, this does not apply to noise, so you can buy a house next to a boat yard and then shut the boat yard down.

Water has an invigorating effect on the price of land especially if it has a jetty and boatyards are perfect for re classifing as building land?

I enjoy the videos and fully support the project, and think the legal action a bit of sour grapes; However is the project a renovation or a complete rebuild ? Has anything been used from the old boat or just the lines?

The lower three strakes of teak in the transom are from 1911. But they were cut down from the two upper strakes, to get clean edges. ? Leo intends to re-use the original teak deck houses and hatches. The new structure follows the old very carefully and is faithful to the old techniques. The iron hanging and lodging knees could have been used again, but Leo preferred to cast new ones in bronze.

“Now, it is a law in Lloyd's that the Jane repaired all out of the old until she is entirely new is still the Jane. The Spray changed her being so gradually that it was hard to say at what point the old died or the new took birth, and it was no matter.”
I have just realised where this “law in Lloyd’s “ came from.
It was the “Shipping Interest” in the Honourable East India Company”. From the outset, the HEIC chartered its ships; it did not own them, and the owners - the “Shipping Interest” - mostly former Masters like the port Wordsworth’s brother - set up a rule that anyone who had a ship on charter to the HEIC could replace her “on the old bottom”, so technically a ship was never replaced but always rebuilt, to keep the charter going. Early East Indiamen were only good for one voyage, thanks to teredo navalis, in the 17th century, but by 1800 with teak construction in Bombay and copper sheathing, the ships were good for ten voyages or thirty years.

He's basically built a new boat, except for a few boards in the transom, he's also going to reuse some of the hatches I believe
Edit sorry just seen kukris post

Leo discussed this - the “Ship of Theseus conundrum” in episode 58.

There's no 'conundrum', she's a new build. A brand, spanking shiny new vessel.

But with almost exactly the detailed appearance, the sailing qualities and even the sounds and smells that the old one had when she was new.

Absolutely, although a paste made of Stockholm tar, linseed oil, paraffin, Fray Bentos gravy and vomit could be smeared in inaccessible places for the full experience!

She will come with the first three, and will soon acquire the fifth. That leaves only the fourth to add, but we have both forgotten one - the whiff of mildew from cotton sails and hemp rope, stowed when ever so slightly damp...

Seriously, there’s another aspect to the charming little town of Sequim, which Leo Goolden has politely avoided.

Oh crikey, seems to me that Mr Goolden would be better off out of there as quickly as possible.

Same as moving in then complaining about the local church's bells, it annoys them.
