I know the guy who’s bought her very well, he’s a client of mine.
He’s the sort of guy to see this sort of project through
Arguably even better news, the guy is clearly mad, in the best way possible!He’s the sort of guy to see this sort of project through
Good work.

The Instagram is good. Been updated a couple of time this week.
Yes I noticed a lot of it is fairly recent. I've liked and commented on about half the posts, shows people are taking interest. Daniel
You do wonder why people think they can keep adding weight to the top of boats without thinking or consulting a navel architect. It looks like there is probably half a tonne of bricks in the fireplace, along with a few tonnes of steel added on top of what would have been the upper deck. Obviously she's been changed a lot since new, but it's hardly surprising she was unstable.

That is a really niche profession. Is there much call for designer belly buttons?Scrump said:

The Mary Rose is a prime example.

Yeah there's some blurb on the website about how/when it was changed.
Well the bow is different, the stern is a totally different shape, and the middle is different.

Just a slightly different bow and stern profile. If the replacement stempost and stern are no longer in good shape, and other extensive hull work is required, its the perfect time to de-convert it.

It makes no sense, either to have changed it completely, or then to reinstate it. The first action may have been folly; what logic for the second? Just buy a boat you like the look of...Simpo Two said:

Ah yes, there is a thin line between boat ownership and insanity Most good things in life make no sense if you stop and think
Perhaps he can do it himself with an angle grinder and a cheese sandwich.
