I think that wooden one is one of the big river barges...with lines like that..it may have hauled salt. The steel hull you didnt like the cockpit lines of, might have been interesting inside.🤔 The pirate ship at the second yard looked like A Tiki or Choy Lee..amazing interiors . Lavender and Citronella are supposed to repel Mossies. With the Mistral blowing like that watch out for any fire risks..Like in the grass. If the yard has the owners number ask them to find out what it was and any history..🧙♂️🇬🇧👍🏼⛵ 😉 the keel and rudder point to it being a shallower draft off shore design. How about a junk rig..?

Well you have done it now. I know how you feel. Bought a project sailboat myself and working on it now. Only time will tell if this was a good idea. Looking forward to following your journey. So happy for you. Cheers, S/V Cork ~ Texas

@@SailingSeabird I know you're busy and pleased to see your channel do well again so quickly. We're only small so don't worry about watching us. We're actually in Mallorca so a little bit nearer to you. Shame we catch up for real 😉⛵
