I have had the pleasure of discussing and meeting sailors and workers in the marine industry who explained me a few things about restoring a boat. My father owns a 13 meters Bavaria sailing yacht in the south of France and I sailed a lot with him the past 20 years. It is indeed hard work to maintain a sailing boat and it requires a lot of attention!

[@hubschenk1652]

Chapeau! Many years ago I made my dream of owning my own steel yacht come true by constructing one myself but having the hull built by a shipyard. Since I liked my plans, I received it at a very low price with the condition that the shipyard was allowed to continue building it. When the bowl arrived, I found slightly rusty spots under the primer and had everything sandblasted on the inside and sanded everything on the outside. It took me 16 months for corrosion protection, painting, interior work, marinization of 2 diesel engines and all the technology.

[@dr.kennethnoisewater26]

Worked on crabbing boats half my life and spent the other half as a marine contractor. In my opinion, buying a boat to fix up is one of the worst ideas most people can have. You need money to burn to do this properly and your boat will never be worth what you put in. If you have a special boat/hullI can see why you would do this. Otherwise just get something in good shape. Every boatyard has an old boat back in the weeds for 10 years they’d be excited to give you (or sell you if you’re slow) but that doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. All that being said, I wish these folks the best with their vessel

This is probably harder than building the yacht from scratch. What a beautiful restoration on this yacht, much respect for all the hard work they put into this vessel. A smooth sea never made a great sailor. Happy sailing, you deserve every inch of that horizon.

[@krzysztofzygmunt4740]

You have probably never done that. Rebiulding the old yacht is always much easier and a lot cheaper then building a new one. The only difference is, that buying a new one cost you a lot of money, rebuilding on the other hand takes a lot of your time and requires a lot of practical skills. If you cannot do it yourself, better buy a new one...

Then it becomes an addiction after that is a large scrapbook of completed projects.

How envious (without malice) of this couple. For the challenge of restoring an old yacht and making it seaworthy again, working even in the cold. Another thing that impressed me was the fact that the boat had so many metal parts to scrape, cut, weld and paint. At first I thought it was all made of fiberglass, but they only used this to finish the internal parts. I wanted to know if they had any experience in shipbuilding. Magnificent work 👏👏👏

Good idea if you want a money pit. I worked on commercial vessels for 30 years, as an engineer I can tell you the cost to repair is high. Shipyards charge a lot for dry docks. Not to mention anything marine related cost 5 times more. If steel isn’t stripped all the way and treated rust will return in a matter of weeks. Sandblasting the entire hull would save time and money then cutting all the rot out. Audio gauge the hull and sea if it’s worth repairing.

Why didn't you sandblasting it instead of grinding it? It's way more effective and the result is great. After that u blow away the dust, leftovers "" and clean it. Then it's ready for the reparations and priming and finally paint quite fast. I've done that with a boat like that and the sandblasting took me about 13 hours on the outside but then it was all clean from paint and rust.

You can get a great deal on a fully kitted out sailboat for a really good price. They don't give them away, but it will be cheap. Some sailors take them back through the Panama Canal and refit them in Belize before selling them in Miami for full price. Not a bad life. Sailing isn't for everyone.
