Thanks Cousin Jack! It brought us just as much satisfaction as you can imagine. She'll be a beauty in no time, promise.

Brilliant, well done, you fully deserve your new boat. A couple of picky things now. I was having kittens watching you fiddling with a running engine with laces hanging from your hoodie - never underestimate the strength of laces. Secondly, it's unseamanlike to have your fenders out whilst under way. Message ends.

Thanks multa. At least someone's keeping an eye out for my safety ❤️ I knew the fender comment was coming. I just thought you might let me off this one time 😭 it's not too "unseamanlike".. it just looks silly and a clear sign of an amature 🤪

I actually just got a free 41ft Morgan center cockpit that had sunk at the dock for possibly a year. The first thing I did was sail it 70 miles back home. Just finished a lot of scrubbing and got the engine to turn over by hand. It was locked up. Needs a lot of work but it's my dream boat. All I need is a gf to look at it and say "it's a cutie"...lol

Hi guys, she wouldn’t be the first boat/Yacht that sank and someone come along and restored it , keep up the good work. Don’t worry about the negative comments because you’ll get them. Just keep going forward. Don’t look back you’ll come across some things that need to replaced but that’s okay.

So many people get caught up with shipwright's disease and try to fix every damn thing before they use the boat. Good on you for getting it floating and getting the engine going and going sailing. Unless you have done this enough to know exactly what you are doing it makes more sense to have some fun and upgrade/paint/whatever as you go. Spending years making it perfect ends in more scrapped projects and broken finances with no fun had than you can shake a stick at.

The boat was free, but as everyone knows, there is no such thing as a free lunch! We bought a neglected boat out of a hedge and yes, she was good value for money but around 10k later she still needs odds and ends doing to her. BTW, she is absolutely amazing and admired by many!

No such thing as a free sailboat. You might take possession of it for nothing, but you'll pay more than a boat well maintained in the end.
