That is a nice boat! You need to get an awl and poke the wood all over to make sure it's not rotten. If the wood is still good, it looks like a really good buy.

A whole lot is going to depend on the condition of the fastenings as well as the planking and ribs. If the hull is structurally sound as regards fixings and frames the keel and stem/stern etc, sheathing might be an option (but not a cheap one) Something on the line of West system. It's like all these jobs .... it all depends on what is totally past it and what is salvageable. As I've said many times .... I love old wooden boats ..... but I prefer other people to own them and let me crew  |
