Thankyou. I have already been busy but the glass work will have to wait till spring.. I will video the repairs as a record. I watched the Arctic Sense Jeanneau videos a couple of times and see how well these boats sail, it will encourage the progress.

Looks very similar layout to my old Beneteau 35S7 with the 3 cabin layout; I maybe back in the market for a bigger boat in a couple of years so I will follow the renovation with interest. Good luck

I looked in the aft cabins today. There's a sliding door between for someone to sneak through! Emergency exit it says. Plenty of space inside, it would be no hardship to live aboard for an extended cruise.. Hoping you put a video together of your trip up north, I'm doing my sailing on KZitem, this year was a flop for me, at least I can watch others sailing there.

Mike, I have a soft spot for Jeanneau Sun Fast yachts. Most of my training and qualifications were done on them. They are great fun and even the new ones are really good value for money. The glasswork damage looks pretty substantial. But, to be honest, I'd rather tackle a big fibreglass job than a small woodworking one. Good luck with it. Cheers, Paul

This one was a Sunsail boat at some stage, I'm sure involved in training. They are basically Sun Odysseys with a deeper keel and taller mast, interior is the same. I'll work from the inside first and outside in good conditions next spring.. This model is 2000 plus. I hope to budget for a linear drive ram autopilot to do the work for me so I can sit back and take it easy!

Thanks Simon. I had a summer without a boat to sail. I still have my long term project Rival 32 so progressed with that but no sailing for a while now. I did some stone wall work for a driveway gate so a change from pottering on boats. This one will be worth the effort over the winter.

She lovely and I’m sure you’re going to do a cracking job on her. It doesn’t look too bad a fix. Good luck! Where did you see her for sale by the way? I didn’t see her on Apolloduck but I haven’t been on much lately:)

Not been in a pub for a while now TJ! All the time I put in will need to be paid back with a good long sail next year, this year was a let down for me, my fault really, so some catching up to do next year.

You're a gluten for punishment Mike. I hope it all goes well for you. I have a 21ft Corribee I'm giving away which needs some work to put back on the water but is a sound little boat with good gear and sails. If you know anyone local (I'm just down the road from you) let me know.

I've been busy already Joe, cleaning and today have pulled the mainsail off the boom, cleaned and stowed below. The sails look really good, black racing ones. I don't know anyone around here looking for a boat. Those are favourites with young sailors for a first boat, Ellen Mc Arthur for one. I'm sure someone would jump at it. There's an Anglesey facebook group that sells stuff, that would be an idea. Holyhead Sea Scouts maybe?

You can repair them to be stronger than before but are you sure you can sell her . It puts people off when they see damage to the Hull

I hope to have two seasons of use out of the boat so it's me it needs to approve. By doing this video it will be up to anyone in future whether they would want a repaired boat. They will see before and after videos and me sailing her too. I just like fixing things and have done big grp jobs before. The boat ought to be an economical way of owning a modern cruiser of this size.
