I feel your pain, but I am maybe one of the crazy ones who love a real challenge.
That's why I bought a 60' ferrocement
ketch in really bad shape and immediately proceeded to gut it like a big
fish. The new
interior is coming along as planned and the overall goal is to have her complete and sailing away from St. Augustine,
Florida in about 16 months. Meanwhile, I have a few boatyard friends who are attempting the same, but their life is getting in their way. I wish you luck on selling your
boat and getting into a more manageable vessel in short time!
