I am about done with the restoration work, and where as I certainly have had time to update the blog, it has been very low on my priority list. I hope ya'll come back and take a look at it when I am done. <br />BenjaminBenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109115931412347145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447173607375660754.post-55177772714177647872011-02-03T08:42:57.665-08:002011-02-03T08:42:57.665-08:00It appears that this project failed immediately. ...It appears that this project failed immediately. There are no follow up posts leading me to think any work was done.<br /><br />There are many things that can be wrong with a free sailboat that will not appear to the novice buyer. Core rot being the biggest killer I know of.<br /><br />Free sailboats can be a bill to the receiver as this person will not be able to restore the boat and now has to pay to have it stored or destroyed and disposed of.<br /><br />Many find a third option and give it away free to another unsuspecting person who will now have the burdon.<br /><br />Not all free sailboats are worthless but many are. Clues to worthlessness include a boat that has been stripped of gear. Mast, boom, sails, jib winches, stantions, hatches and windows all have value and can be sold as parts from a boat that is unrestorable but then what do you do with the hull? Give it away.<br /><br />Another hint is one large recent repair project-typically the engine. They fix this item first then discover the core rot and realize they wasted the money on the engine. Now they just want the whole thing gone. This is not too bad as you may be able to sell parts described above but if it could be restored to working order the previous owner probably would have done it.<br /><br />As of my writting there are alot of cheap and free boats available. You just have to know something of what you are doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447173607375660754.post-89065894699129747122010-01-14T08:23:57.294-08:002010-01-14T08:23:57.294-08:00Where's the rest of it?
