I always look on people who try to restore old boats with awe.
I mean - why? Its an incredible amount of work and expense to do what this guy is attempting and most of them fail. We have a Morcambe Bay Prawner yacht rotting quietly away in a mud berth in our club - chap who started it , took it to bits then couldnt complete it and wont admit defeat. And as a sailor who has pottered round lord only knows how many ports, I've seen lots of projects like this one all over the country. And I've sailed in a few as well.
Its a magificent obsession - thank god I havent got it..
