    About 30 miles from my home you can drive through the countryside and see project boats in many yards. The broken dreams of well-intentioned men who dreamt of sailing the seven seas 20 years ago. Old worn out boats are sad representations of misplaced hopes! Wish you all the best!

    Great looking and good solid boat. The cooker alone is worth a few hundred pounds, it’s a Force 10, and they are brilliant. Had one on a previous boat. Love the layout and nice clear decks. Once you clear it out and jet wash the decks you can see what you have which I think is going to be a fab cruising boat. Good luck and I look forward to following your progress. Andy UK

    Congratulations guys your as bonkers as you suspect..😂😉🤣👍🏼💖 I would have tapped out that deck JIC it was balsa cored..but you could probably see that through any holes. Theres something familiar about that boats layout and lines..check Capt Q and learning the lines. How long is it, any idea? I think that wooden one is one of the big river barges...with lines like that..it may have hauled salt. The steel hull you didnt like the cockpit lines of, might have been interesting inside.🤔 The pirate ship at the second yard looked like A Tiki or Choy Lee..amazing interiors . Lavender and Citronella are supposed to repel Mossies. With the Mistral blowing like that watch out for any fire risks..Like in the grass. If the yard has the owners number ask them to find out what it was and any history..🧙‍♂️🇬🇧👍🏼⛵ 😉 the keel and rudder point to it being a shallower draft off shore design. How about a junk rig..?

    Forgive me for the question. I am a novice boater. Why would you not first examine the hull condition? After all, the interior may be salvageable, but if the boat cannot float, then you are investing in interior that will not float. Your response would be greatly appreciated.

    If anyone in the UK would like a FREE 27’ sailboat, which has a zero hours engine and stern gear (fitted brand new, years ago, but never floated), let me know. It’s on the hard in Kent, on the Medway. Is a 1978 Marcon Sabre. No longer in the UK and she needs a new owner who is up for a project - I just want her to go to a good home where she will get the love and life on the water she deserves.
