The mariners of North Wales are more desirable as they are where people go on holiday and keep small pleasure

just a minor point, but you have to register to see more than the cover photo...that's not going to help your cause

Lovely boat. You should though spend a bit of time sprucing it up, especially the deck areas. Spend a weekend or two sanding and varnishing.

You''d probably do more to your house if you were selling that, so maybe the same should apply to the boat. Certainly isnt going to cost much.

Keeping it will cost a fortune. It was a nice boat once. I would tidy it up, maybe do the woodwork and sell it.

In my opinion, UK yachting anywhere other than the south coast is a pain, due to climate, prevailing wind and sandbars.

If you want to keep it, be prepared for basically a part-time job, it's like having an allotment.

Update

Someone bought the boat

£8k cash!!

He was apparently looking for a project for himself & his grandkids

Hes having it taken down to his lake!, where he will restore it to use as a guest house 🤯

You should have left some of the grumble in it for them to find during the work

Back of the net! Spose when you don't need to do the engine and all the shipshapey stuff the rest seems a lot less daunting. (Assuming it's just going to float there)

Want to buy a boat?

Did he tell them he was about to blow their inheritence? 🤣

My first thought was that his poor grandkids will inherit the bastard thing!

The guy was apparently quite well off, he has a large country estate with its own lake

Or he's possibly a drug dealer & looking for a way to ship product
