Hello Mike, Yes, there are some issues, but so far nothing we didn’t know about. As you can see in the video the cutless bearing and housing are already off. There was a bit of movement in the cutless bearing, and although it would probably have been ok for a year or two, we weren’t sure if that was causing the leak, so thought we’d get it sorted anyway. It’s beginning to look like it might be an internal leak in either the pipes (there’s loads!) or perhaps one of the tank inlet/outlets. This seems less likely as the (really big!) tank looks to be in very good shape. In addition to the basic safety work being carried out now we’re just taking stock of what we’ve got, and what we want to improve.

How much was the standing rigging for the ketch set up? Did you replace it all? Hope that's not too nosey 😊

Hello, ours is sloop rigged so not comparable, but from memory think it was something just under £2K…..

@briangetsaround4851 I'm toying with the idea of a ketch rig so I'm guessing around 3 grand for that

@@johnpaulslater2924 That setup has advantages for sure. Price sounds about right. We would have been happy with a ketch rig as well. Good luck!
