Hello there! For all the new Subscribers who are new to my channel, we have weekly Videos on the restoration of a Colvic Watson, but do not fear, I am very busy restoring the £1 Yacht in the background! So please stay tuned! You won’t be disappointed ❤⛵️⛵️⛵️
You should do a weekly rebuild video. Not just a quick one hit wonder.
Some people's dreams are bigger than their skillset & bank balance. At least they gave it a go.
They did indeed, time to bring her back to life ⛵️⛵️⛵️
I agree with you 100% think this new owner is being a bit crule and smug. Be good to see how amazing his skills are now
@C3BFA please check out part 2 ⛵️🙏
It must be apparent to people on the marina if a boat is getting near a stage of sinking so instead of waiting to it sinks with all the hassle of recovery they would get on board and pump it out and have a temp battery and bilge pump installed to then inform the owner and ask what they want to do with it , it would also make it a better proposition for restoration as well.
In the marina’s defence the boats where all checked before the storm as they always do, it’s a very good marina and they always send staff around to check even during the night when bad conditions are forecast, but this yacht was already very low in the water on the stern with to much weight so it actually didn’t look like anything was wrong until it was to late, it sank in around 10 mins due to all the extra weight and lots of holes drilled in the transom, also the owner was not in the country. Hope this info helps. But she is now in day 5 of the rebuild ⛵️⛵️⛵️
I agree, she is a Vivacity 20. Very robust material of fibreglass as it was built to last. Main items are available, mast , hull railing, rudder, sails. I owned one for 16 years enjoyed it with my family as well as doing work on it. Enjoy.
This is brilliant information 😊 that’s great to know that lots of parts are available for this project, pleased to know that it’s a well built boat and you have enjoyed many year of sailing with her, thank you for your response ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
I had a Vivacity 20 in Sweden when i was 16/18 of years. Had a lot of fun with her. But now with my Maxi 68 i can have 7 persons in the cabin !
To be blunt I think its low to keep saying all the boat issues are firstly all done by one previous owner the boat probably had several owners and clearly the last owner had issues probably poor health or or and old age I've lived on boats for very nearly 30 years and I've always kept a tight ship, but my age and injurys poor health ect has lead my 8 year old boat to look 40 years old and I've seen it happen to others over the years shit and old age gets you in the end so I say be nice and just get on with fixing up your bargain have fun good luck 👍
I have to admit I was a little harsh but she had a young owner that abandoned her when she sank and walked away, leaving the marina with the cost of clear up. He bought her without a viewing and had it delivered to the marina and never came back. I am now in day 6 of the restoration in my new upload and already making headway, thank you for your comment ⛵️⛵️
Vivacity 20. I own one. 90% restored allready.
Very very strong hull. Excellent canal boat.
That’s great to hear that there still going strong, I am deep in to the rebuild already (day 3) and already it’s coming together or apart I should say, hopefully weather permitting she will be ready very soon ⛵️ thanks for sharing this ⛵️ stay tuned
There’s nothing as expensive as a free (almost) boat!
I couldn’t agree more but it’s all about the fun in building ⛵️😊
Great you are saving this boat. Good luck with it! Ignore all the misery guts who say it will be a money pit. So what! You will have the satlsfaction of not only saving this boat but giiving it to a local sailing club which is very laudable and I am sure the club will be most appreciative. Fortunately not everything in life has to be done for profit!
Thank you, it will rise again and it will definitely be put to good use for others to enjoy ⛵️⛵️⛵️ new updates coming very soon
In Sweden you get boats for free in good condition. Last year ( as i am downsizing) due to age , i received a Maxi 68 , one owner since new. On the hard 11 years , in good condition , onboard engine, heater, toilet with blackwateryami..They payed 8.500 euros ( but in Swedish crowns ! The value of this today is more than 300.000 swedish crowns. This year i will sail here down to Barcelona where i live. My last bost here was 35 feet , Colvic Liberator , hated it. Now back on the size i had as young. Small boat ,small problems !
Hi there, Maxi 68 is a great boat especially with her being a one owner boat, that will be a great trip in the sun, and I agree with a smaller boat is a lot easier to manage, I still have a 38ft Aquastar motor boat that drinks lots of fuel, I have a video on the channel of my last trip with the children. Costly to keep on putting the fuel in. Thanks for joining us and we are currently in the process of restoring a Colvic Watson in our current weekly uploads, All the best from Cliff & Matt ⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUKTKU , i will follow you ! Ps i love the Colvic Watsons. Have a nice spring 👍👍⛵
Your mad lad...
The previous owner was obviously not afraid to get stuck in an have a crack.
What they lacked in knowledge they put back in plenty of enthusiasm.
Maybe a little harsh 😂
Anyway I’ve subscribed to see how you get on.
Crack on .!!!
8,500
300,000
, not . in English
👍
Inside looks much better than I thought it would
It’s actually not to bad, just needs love ⛵️⛵️
You guys over there have a lot of really solid smaller boats to choose from! My dad found a twin keel that was built for the channel but made it to the states somehow and ended up with us in Annapolis. Solid as a rock and we could beach her upright. Wish we still had that, but I found an abandoned south coast 22 on the Monocacy river in Maryland about fifteen years ago that I have been playing with ever since.
I wish you all the luck in the world with your 15 year project, we all need something fun to keep us going, thanks for your comment and thanks for being here, she is looking a lot better already and it’s only day 2 ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Nice to see that throughout it all the ensign was still flying, must mean something!
It means she is going to rise again soon back in the water ⛵️⛵️⛵️😉
Yep as someone has already stated, it's a Vivacity 20 by Russell Marine....... i have one myself.
The good thing is they are solid fibreglass, so no soggy core to worry about.
This is great news, thank you for sharing this information and it’s great to hear someone also has this same model of boat, stay tuned ⛵️⛵️
Davits for getting the outboard engines in and out, since they are a bit away back.
Great project, be interesting seeing how you get on. A good power wash will fetch the paint and LEDs off that in no time. Good luck with the project.
Fingers crossed! It all starts today ⛵️⛵️⛵️
interesting video... but please ffs lose the annoying music.
It’s all in hand for future video’s as I totally agree, you tube copyright has been my biggest problem so used anything that it would let me, I am now dealing with it, thank you for your input 😎⛵️
good music
i like it
I vote Lose the music
@sussertheoriginal I completely agree it was a big mistake on my part and for that I apologise, I have now corrected this on part 2 which is now live 🙏⛵️
@stefanswede285 your the only one 🤣 I was my biggest let down on the video 🤣⛵️
Ah, a fellow masochist...subscribed!
Great to have you on the channel Richard ⛵️
good luck with ALL your projects
Thank you, the sun is coming out and progress is on the horizon ⛵️
On the positive side, if the boat is holding that much water after sitting 12 months in a boat yard, that must mean the hull isn't leaking.
Good luck to you!
Yes the hull is good. Thank you. I have uploaded a new video on current progress ⛵️🙏 thanks for being here 😎
Nice little daysailer. A good clean, get rid of all the crap, check the rig, put a car battery and wiring for the position lights and connect it to a small solar panel with a little charger. For less than 500$ you're back in the water...
She is coming on nicely at the moment, day 2 of the overhaul completed ⛵️
OK - I love your sense of humour and have subscribed to this exercise in nautical flagellation.😉👍⛵️
Thank you it’s great to have you on the channel ⛵️⛵️
I love a good boat project iv just brought a bayliner to keep me busy will have sum videos up in the summer when she’s done all the best fella
Thank you I look forward to seeing your videos, thanks for being here 🛥️⛵️
Definitely worth saving
Thank you, check out part 2 & 3 to see how I get on 🙏⛵️
Wow cool interior. Its a lot of boat for such a little boat.
Yes she is 20ft, a lot of work but starting to come together slowly 🤣
7:11 As long as the davids are no taler than the main mast you are good 😂
It was definitely a sky scraper 🤣⛵️
Mate, you missed a beat here by not filming the recovery properly. That would have got way more views and subscribers imo
Yes I would have been better to have filmed the whole recovery but at the time I was not really doing and you tube videos so never even give it a thought, just lucky I had something to show how she was 🙏⛵️
If you are having fun?.. Its worth it..
As you probably know a lot of these 1960s boats were bomb proof.
I managed to pick up a really mint Hurley 22r with a new Yanmar diesel fitted and I am having great fun with it.. Despite owning a 44ft Essex Smack!..
This is why I thought it was a good idea to give her a new lease of life as these old boats are definitely bomb proof and sinking proof 🤣 nice to hear that someone else likes a challenge as much as me and also has multiple boats, welcome to the gang ⛵️
The boat is a vivacity 20 sailboat lots of information online and Facebook owners group hope that helps
Thank you for this information as I was unsure of the brand, this is great information and very very helpful ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Thats a project and a half, enjoy mate
Thank you captain 🧑✈️ ⛵️⛵️⛵️
I would love to watch the process of the repairs
The next video will be a start to finish of this project in one video some Timelapse and details of important parts of the project so stay tuned ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
please show us the work being done ste
You will be seeing all the work being done, currently in the middle of filming day 4 😎⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Even when fully sorted, this is going to be worth £4k tops. You will spend more than £10k to sort it, along with yard fees. Good luck and have fun. I will watch with interest.
I am only doing this to give you guys some content 🤣 I will donating the boat when complete to our local sailing club ⛵️⛵️
IDK, free boats are never free, but my salvage has only required about US$4K to completely fit out with new outboard and all electronics and hull repairs included. Mine will never be worth more than I put into her, but she fits on a trailer so no slip fees and if I can break even one day after years of enjoyment, I will be happy.
How did it sink?
Two much weight and the stern of the boat, 4 big car batteries, 2 fuel tanks, over kill davits and a failed bilge pump with lots of rain was definitely the factor in her sinking ⛵️⛵️
Great little project if you have time and money
Definitely going to be a fun build, stay tuned for the finished result coming soon ⛵️⛵️
With a buff it will be like new! You probable already know this, first things first - osmosis check. And good luck!
Most definitely, looking forward to getting deep into this easy project ⛵️⛵️
Well shes had a great saltwater flush before sitting. What really destroys is mold from freshwater rain leaks. Shes got a great dry freeboard and heavy logistics capabilities is that commercial fishing rig or what? Not just a fun sloop thats a hardworking boat there. Fix er up nice!
Ah thats for a dinghy
⛵️🙏 keep on building
It just needs a “sympathetic” restoration, your a brave man but I I must admit I would definitely have a go at saving it too, best of luck with the build
Thank you I am well underway, stay tuned for the next instalment ⛵️
Well the rain held off so thats a start ,,,, now to find a box of matches !
I was thinking that when I arrived at the marina this morning 🤣🤣
The Marina should have paid you!!! 🤣 I reckon the weight of all those LED's finally sunk it!! 🤣
Completely agree 🤣🤣⛵️⛵️
I'm surprised there aren't any drain plugs in the Hull to drain the bilges. It would certainly help out with the cleaning process
It would have definitely been easier as on part 2 you will see that I ended up pumping out then wet vac to finish off ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Atta boy. You'll have the last laugh with your gorgeous double keeler. I like my small air cooled Tomking TK144FC outboard. The four cycle 23 pounder can be modified to troll, and will keep the stern light, especially if you don't keep those davits.
Thank you 🙏 I will make her ship shape once again
@@BoatzUK watch the pence. Treat her like a princess and you'll be hoisting your hanking jib, fishing in your 12 volt chest freezer for sandwiches, and dropping anchor where you want. I've seen those double keels here in East coast USA. They crossed.
In this fine ship one captain, three hitmen and three victims with goldplated concrete weights may ride comfortably.
🤣🤣🤣
It would be brilliant to invite the previous owner to see his boat and tell his side of the story.
That would be a great story but unfortunately soon as he was told she sank he was never seen again ⛵️
I'd love to know what the previous owner's intentions were with those davits.
They obviously had enough money to keep the boat in a marina and buy quite a modern Tohatsu four stroke.
You obviously know what you're doing and are aware of the costs involved. I've just bought a 25ft Hunter for £7,000. The previous owner has spent £7,000 on it in the last two years and it hasn't been out of the boat yard.
I like boats like this Vivacity. I'll be interested to see how you make it seaworthy again.
I would also love to know that answer, they are now gone, I am underway with the restoration, it’s definitely a task but I have worked 5 days solid so far and I can now see what’s ahead, full video will be coming out so stay tuned ⛵️ Hunter are a great boat you will enjoy it, thanks for your comment ⛵️
Wow. Normally I hate sarcasm but you are hilarious 😁
Thank you, I do feel I was a bit harsh but this is me all over 🤣
Also it looks like your a 1200 bandit fan so that goes a long way with me 🙏😎😎😎😎
It's the first video of yours I came across. Laughed so much. Just seen the second one now - didn't realise you were serious about doing it up 😂 thought you were scrapping it and the whole thing was satire. I felt like you could have a full channel on ripping into peoples boats and boat mods and it'd be quite popular 😁 Yes love the bandit 1200 👍 Also got a leisure 17, no davits unfortunately 😂
Joking apart the environmental costs of disposing of the wreck will be many times your original purchase price, there is no salvage in the Hull is there?
I am on day 2 of the rebuild and so far she is coming on well, hull is solid and she is currently getting stripped out, I love a challenge and it’s definitely a fun project, I work fast so hopefully weather permitting she will be ready to go soon, that will be the next video so stay tuned for wreck rebuild ⛵️
Zinc poisoning from those welds may explain some of the other features
Ohh yes she has plenty of features 🤣⛵️⛵️
Those lids are fine marine drift plywood
Check out part 2 & 3 to see how I get on 🙏⛵️😎
They saw you coming, the yard costs and work needed will soon start to mount and there are plenty of small boats in reasonable condition at giveaway prices due to their storage costs, insurance premiums. and unfulfilled dreams. I was a boat owner for 25 years and at our club there were /are lots of unfinished projects cluttering up the place.
I totally agree with you, but she was sat in the marina that I Berth my Aquastar and having lots of spare time on my hands it’s a great opportunity and I have done about 20 projects boats to date and love turning them around, I have a great relationship with the marina and I get the job done, also I will be giving it away when complete to our local sailing club so they can let the community learn to sail so it always feels good to see her looking great again and having a new lease of life ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
well get your finger out and get stuck in, use a pump to clear the water out of the galley then use a high pressure jet washer to get it clear to start the rebuild. As you claim to have done servile boats before you should find this one a piece of cake. I look forward to your rapid progress @@BoatzUK
I don't know why, but I'm starting to get the hint you thought the previous owner was a bit of an idiot...
Just a small amount 🤣⛵️
Good luck😱
I need all the luck I can possibly get ⛵️⛵️
The LED lights will be the idea of the owner's missus
Guaranteed 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
Hi guys. Im a new subscriber because i cant wait to see this getting done lol. God bless you if you can turn it around 😅🇨🇮👋👋
Welcome to the channel from the Ivory Coast glad to have you on the channel, it’s going to be fun ⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK Thanks Guys. Respect 🙏 🫡
You've been overcharged!
I agree with that but I love a challenge 🤣⛵️⛵️
I knew those boats were good at sitting on the bottom. I just thought it was supposed to be when the tide is out.
The barnacles and algae have held up well.
🤣 love this comment
You've got more than £1 in scrap metal at least!
Ohh yes and part 2 is now live ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
I have to copy this project boat.
Your more than welcome ⛵️
@@BoatzUK it was pronounced dead the moment the owner started the diy route without due care for safety.
So true, they was nothing safe about it, I am now on day 2 of the rip out and already she is looking a lot better, all the wrong things and there’s lots of them are being corrected ⛵️
@@BoatzUK keep us updated. all the best.
How much is it going to cost on the hard stand per week?
I do a six month berthing contract with the marina and it’s very reasonable in our location ⛵️
Enjoyed watching vid apart from shite americanised back ground noise.
Thank you we shall improve ❤️⛵️
Vivacity 20, I have one on Ullswater
Great to hear that you also have this brand of boat, I am now in day 5 of the restoration and it’s a solid little boat ⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK look forward to seeing the result
Only needs a couple of weekends work😂 looking forward to seeing this restored 👌
I am on day two now and I am feeling the pain 🤣🤣
Thats what I said about the 22' south coast I salvaged fifteen years ago. just got her out last fall for the first time. I am pretty lazy though.
Keep the Davits - get rid of the rest😂
@anthonywilson2346 I removed them today, the boat is now 200kg lighter ⛵️🤣🤣
I work fast, she is coming on great, another successful day today working on her, if I keep up this pace you will have the start to finish video soon ⛵️😎🔥
Those davits are legendary
There definitely one of a kind 🤣⛵️⛵️
Insane sound track destroys the video!
I agree I have corrected that on episode 2
The marina had a result when i had my boat yard used to cost me to get scrapped
Yes what I am trying to prevent, I don’t mind the re-building and one less for scrap, I have a good relationship with the marina and it’s always better to give some of the boats a new life rather than landfill, there are so many end of life boats in lots of marina boat yards as you will be well aware, some are to far gone to save but these small yachts are not to bad when the hull is still in good order ⛵️ thanks for your comment 🙏
£50 bet that its not viable if you pay for materials you can buy better with less work its possiblly got osmosis price of timber then a survey to refloat and sell il bet £50 it wont be done
@@ajw1467 check out part 2 🙏⛵️
@ajw1467 this project is just for fun and not for profit, so don’t mind if it’s only worth £50 at the end and it’s cost £2000 to put her right, it’s just for the sake of doing it 🍹
@@BoatzUK have done anti foul 70 a pot with out timber survey cheaper on ebay less work and can get insured this survey 600 not viable
Plot twist - the previous owner had also salvaged it after it sunk the first time.
🤣🤣 she will not sink now, only because she is on dry land ⛵️⛵️🤣
Haway mahn, thats a bit harsh like!
The boats a bit harsh 🤣
This is why you don’t let stupid people anywhere near boats it’s a shame I bet it was a good looking boat when new it could be bought back to life with some decent investment
I am currently on with the rebuild have a look at part 2 ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
The marina got a good deal, £1 to dispose of a wreck 😂
It was definitely a good deal for them 🤣 but she will live once more ⛵️⛵️⛵️🤣
Scrape the hull and give the whole boat a pressure wash, look for blisters and , with all those unattended holes, I’d be worried about core material, if there is any. If the deck needs new core, it’s probably not worth it.
I totally agree, I like taking on the worst possible boats. I am going to soda blast the hole boat to see what she looks like with all that old paint off, thanks for your comments I love good input ⛵️
Skip the soda blast and go right to the gel peel.
Jet wash, then on e-bay "needs slight attention..."
🤣 now I have started it’s actually looking a lot better (Kinda🤣) she definitely needs slight attention, stay tuned for the rebuild video coming soon HOPEFULLY 🤞 ⛵️⛵️⛵️
A bit of T Cut and and Elbow grease and it will be fine
Part 2 uploaded and she has had that T Cut 🤣⛵️⛵️
Them Davits are made of scaffolding 🤦♂️
They was wider than scaffolding 🤣⛵️
There is no way this boat is worth restoring with the amount of re-glassing that needs done, I’m guessing most of the bulkheads are rotten. Great little boat when not weathered beyond use.😂
Check out part 2 for the progress ⛵️ it’s all part of the fun 😎⛵️⛵️
Holy transom Batman
Thank you I will keep on pushing forward 🙏⛵️
Have you maybe fault the people that built the boat built it on a budget and at the end of the day it’s their boat not a model piece it’s not gonna be in any magazines or anything or you know it could’ve been there very first Boat me I’ve just bought first Boat no idea what I’m doing with it but I’m doing the best I canand there will probably be some bits built on there to look dodgy but it doesn’t matter so don’t slag someone else’s Work off just cause you don’t like it
Safety at sea is my biggest issue, not really to do with how it looks but a boat going to sea incorrectly set up of sea,stability is the biggest factor, and this boat was so far from being good to take to sea with everything incorrectly done, and they did take it to sea and are lucky to come back without being in a lifeboat. I think for the owner sinking was the best thing that could have happened to save life’s at sea ⛵️
Yes I understand that, but you said can’t remember if I’m quite wrong if I’m wrong but you said it’s been sat underwater for 12 months it’s going to be fucked no doubt about it but can’t remember if you say underwater for 12 months but it’s been sat where it is for 12 months, but I did remember you said it’s been satfor about a year and a half where it is. I know if Boat had sunk for a year I wouldn’t even pay a quid for it
@@jackrickells3979 it was only sunk for 1 day and been sat out the water since, I am on day 3 of the work and it’s coming together already stay tuned for the wreck rebuild ⛵️
Sarcasm is a bit misplaced. Not my style of video I'm afraid...
This point has been noted, input is important so this can change ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Let’s be honest - I’m not sure this is worth restoring? :) Even for a pound? But defeating entropy is a great activity
I completely agree but is great fun doing regardless of cost and time ⛵️⛵️😎😎
Definitely a bargain. It’s worth at least fifty quid.
Check out part 2 of the update to see how it’s now worth £49.50 🤣⛵️⛵️
Clearly they hadny got a clue and must have thought it was a jef bezos yacht.
🤣🤣⛵️⛵️
Looks like Preston marina , yes music needs to go it’s louder than the talking
You are correct this is at Preston marina ⛵️ and I have now corrected the music on part 2 I completely agree it was bad after playing it back after uploading to the channel, I have made improvements 🙏⛵️
Imagine the smell in that cabin, 😢
It was so so fresh 🤣🤣
@@BoatzUK could only imagine 😂, like a pair of old wellies put away wet .
@blackietotheend my only explanation to what I smelt and witnessed was like swimming in sewage 🤣🤣
First thing I thought was enormous Davits for such a small boat. Why?😂. Lots and lots to do on that…
Can’t wait to get her ship shape, I like a challenge 🤣 it’s already begun, the Davits are definitely a sight for sore eyes, it give me sore eyes looking at them 🤣⛵️⛵️
I think calling it a "yacht" is a bit generous.
Check out part 2 it’s now a Super Yacht 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️

Even we’d be reluctant to start on a Dave’s jones locker jobby😉😵💫
It is definitely a challenge but I am on day 2 now and it’s already looking a lot different, glad to have you here on the channel 🛥️⛵️😎
Sinky boat floaty
Definitely 🤣⛵️
You could restore this boat for £1 . A box of Swan Vesta Matches 😂 lol . I think you would be wasting you time and money. The Davits look like they come off a fishing Trawler. 😊
It’s definitely the easy way but I am doing this just for fun 🤩 them davits are definitely something else 🤣 ⛵️
Bro, interesting but those video editing effects you are using for your transitions are enough to induce a fit in some viewers. Try using a mix of harsh effects with soft transitions and effects to balance it out a bit
I am brand new to editing but learning fast please take a look at part 2 to see if I have improved, all advice is great advice 🙏⛵️

@@BoatzUK seriously I love watching projects like this. Be great to see her on the water again and not drinking it 👍
Know what really bugs me with this boat … is the fact that the ‘a’ in her name is wonky 🤦♀️ my OCD would be going mad…. 😂
Don’t worry it will have no name very soon 🤣 she is getting taken back to the original gel coat so the name will have to go⛵️⛵️⛵️ What shall we call here next????????? Sound as a Pound? 🤣
@@BoatzUK love the idea of the name, given the fact that you bought her for £1, I see the pun there 😂
I've seen worse. In fact I've seen worse boats that didn't sink at the mooring. (Curious how that happened? Did it actually rain enough there to put enough fresh water in to sink it?) If it was wood it'd likely be past saving, but the hull is actually ok and even the interior seems reasonable given the circumstances. Like I said, seen worse in boats that didn't sink. A pound is probably what it's worth in that state. The 'davits' are a joke. Concerned you have some serious deck issues, possibly rotted balsa core or similar given the movement where the davit is. Might just be in the stern area hopefully, but that needs to come up and be replaced and you can check the interior structure there while it's up. As interior lights LED is fine, even as a cockpit light probably, though waterproofing would be an issue. Most of the work is basically elbow grease and some new fittings. That rusted ring bolt isn't that bad and would likely clean up very well if you soak it in Rust Dissolver/Naval Jelly or similar for a day or two. Pull the winches apart, rinse out the salt and grit and relubricate and they'll be fine. I'd suggest get the water out, pressure clean inside and out as a starting point. Get it under cover, even if it's just a tarp or something. See if you can get a soda blaster (grit is too harsh for fibreglass). Just washes off in water, use that for the outside hull, god knows how many coats of antifouling are under the barnacle layer. Bilge keels which is nice for shallow water and makes beaching a breeze. It will take time and work, but major expenses would be replacing the motor(s) and rigging, that rear deck in the stern and cockpit, painting etc. Presume mast and sails etc came with it? Did you get the motors too? They're probably salvageable despite their bath in seawater. I'd say she's closer to twenty feet than seventeen. No idea what make that is, not well up on small Europe built yachts. Good luck, be interested to see how she comes up. Do it right, should polish up pretty well and not a lot of expense really.
You definitely have done this before, this is great info and thank you for taking the time for some great advice it’s very much appreciated, I am well underway with this little boat and new video possibly out this weekend so stay tuned for updates ⛵️
So it sank bow first then .. 🤣 As a (Landrover) Landlubber, why would anyone not use stainless steel fxings on a yacht? Good luck, just pressure washing it should provide a small profit!
Normally the would always use stainless but in this case someone made a exception 🤣
mate there is so much osmosis on that boat you might as well clod it back in the water , all the paint in the world won't fix that .
Believe it or not the hull is now scraped back and there’s not one osmosis bubble anywhere which also shocked me. But then I remembered the year it was built, 1965 when the resin was actually good 🤣⛵️
It's a Vivacity that identifies as a McGregor...
Worrying thing that the.guy took this boat to sea.. Was he going for a Darwin award.
And I have just heard today that 4 people also took her to sea as well as all that extra weight 😳
