wooden hull wanted

[daveyjones]

I'm looking for a wooden hull, around 35 to 40 ft, suitable for restoration and re-rigging to a cutter-rigged gaff ketch. Must be long-keel displacement type, ie a good sea boat. Age and general condition of decks and spars immaterial, but hull must be sound, free from rot and capable of restoration without too much work. I live in Kent, but any area considered. Can anyone help?

Why on earth can people not mind their own business instead and post something useful instead of trying to act as an administrator, which they are not?

This chap is a newbie and I doubt he understands much of what you are trying to say, please give him chance to warm his feet before embroiling him in petty squabbles.

There is a 'part finished' wooden boat for sale, it's on the notice board at Emsworth Marina. If I recall it is only 30 foot, however may be worth a phone call.

Good luck, I love to see classic wooden boats out sailing, my wooden tiller and grab rails are as much as I can face!

Eh?

I sense axes being ground.

BTW Happyone, do you know where the fellow might find a woodie?

My own suggestion would be a sniff around the boatyards at the top of the Hamble, and a look at the back pages of Classic Boat mag.
