Well, here' goes...
<insanity>
I'm acquiring the title to an abandoned
boat with the goal of restoring her, eventually to
live aboard and potentially do some cruising. I'd been eyeing this "old lady of the sea" for years before finding out it was abandoned and I could get it for a song. So I sang.

I've learned so much already, and am
learning more every day from this forum-- my thanks to everyone here for their insightful and knowledgable remarks, on everything from
anchor rollers to swim-platforms.
Something that has eluded me so far, though, is what kind of
boat is this, exactly?
The lawyer who's acquiring the title has some paperwork that shows this as a Ta Chiao, built in 1971-- but it doesn't look like any early 70s Ta Chiao I've been able to
google. She's a 40-45 feet motor-sailer (the
mast is missing) with 2
Perkins 6-354's in the
engine room.
Thoughts?
