![]() ![]() This gives you a pretty good idea about the increased size and cost of any work required on this boat compared with the 22 - and they are hardly "trivial". The displacement of the 26 is 60% greater than the 22, the sail area is 50% greater and the surface area (simply measured by L*B) is 30% greater. ![]() Just to reinforce this point a few more facts might help you understand. You are in danger of making yourself look like a right old tator, again "I can't disagree much with anything that has been said." So just admit that you did not read or understand my opening gambit: The increased cost in putting things right on a 26ft boat over a 22ft boat is mostly trivial. ![]() If the OP has the option then fine, he may not. Of course to some people it is obviously better to get a super boat for £2,000 rather than £200 but only people that have the option. You have to have some sort of practical ability and be willing. *You have to be really sure you want a project for it's own sake, not because you fancy the idea or just because it is on the doorstep. *A sensible offer may be in the couple of hundred range any more is difficult to justify even though the trailer is potentially worth a lot. *The sails have to be usable and the engine worth a punt *It's a steady sailor and will never be worth much *You have to be aware of all the things that have been said - most ring true The second remark was directed at the OP, that is why it was separated by six blank lines.Īs in - If you take this on you have to be "very certain of your ground": Equally I can see why the yard owner is anxious to get a new owner responsible for it rather than having to dispose of it himself.ġ0 years ago it might have been a good deal to take on such a boat, particularly if experienced but things have changed somewhat. Of course he does not have to take that advice, and one can see why he might find it attractive. Avoid this type of project, particularly as he is a novice, and if he does want to buy a boat spend the money on one that works. The consistent advice from a number of people is the same. Sail area is probably 50% greater, as will be the cost of replacements. The mast of the 22 can be raised manually (even if those idiots on the video cocked it up) whereas the bigger boat will need a crane. If the inboard is past it the 22 can use an outboard as the bracket in the video suggests. Guess you have never renovated either type of boat, but you might like to consider the difference in volume and range of gear that goes up according to the size of boat. What sort of thing do I have to be certain about? You have exactly the same information as me, and nothing in my advice (or any others') is unreasonable based on what is available.
