What is wrong with the stucture of the boat that it needs soo much work ?

survey report ;

CONCLUSION
This classic and historic offshore race boat is in surprisingly original condition with
relatively little structurally wrong. However she does need a full restoration. The
starboard aft hull bottom needs repair of an old damage. The #4 bulkhead needs some
repair, the cracked side decks need repair. The vessel needs overall refinishing and of
course engines and systems need to be redone.

Doesn't sound like it needs much. That s Good.

May I ask what nationality you are ?

American here.

hi,i was born in holland,lived in miami and now in phuket thailand were i like it a lot because of the freedom that you have,not to many rules,as long as you behave you can do what you want .

the boat is in nice condition,the deck cracked during a race and there is a soft spot at starboard engine side,bulkhead is easy to repair,but in the u.s. it would still have cost a lot here the minimum monthly salary is about 250$ and very skilled workers,i found to 454 blocks,outdrives will be the biggest problem.

Thats cool

I am 4 generations later from being a Hollander..

Best of Luck with your new project.

I asked RakRau who is woking onhis project in Pattaya what the cost of resin and fiberglass cloth was over in Thialand but he did not have that info.

Would you happen to know what a liter of resin cost or a metre of biaxial cloth costs.

From what I see from Rak Rau posts the labor is very skilled and reasonably priced.

hey jef, new screen name , to match the boat?

yes,could not change user name so opened a new account only for the banana,how is your boat going?sorry for not buying it but i was negotiating for the banana for long time and when i told them i wanted to buy your boat they accepted the price i offered so all changed at the last moment,normally not my style but it went this way.
