Wooden Yacht Restoration Project

Free Restoration Project Weymouth College has a wooden yacht available, free of charge to anyone that can take her away. Boat details:Probably a Folkboat.Boat well supported on a metal frame, sitting on its keel. No obvious hull shape deflections. Hull planking in mahogany in good condition. Internal timbering appears in good order.

Coachroof and decking all rotten and will need replacing. Some cockpit woodwork is saveable. Engine removed and missing but shaft and prop in place.Cast iron keel with surface rust. Keel bolts will need replacing. Lots of bronze fittings about the boat, and a 'heads in a box' in the fore cabin.

Mast, some rigging, fittings etc. available. The boat is quite accessible but will probably need a crane to lift from current cradle onto trailer or low loader. Viewings and additional photographs can be arranged.
