Purchase at Last
Hi there, this is the inauguarl post, as I have just bought the boat, a Seawych 19.
There is a great owners association at www.seawych.org , where I found loads of info to help with the masses of work this boat needs.
A friends of my wife owned the boat and gave us use of it over the last summer, but now they have a new baby and were willing to sell.
The price was great. £500, and it included a honda 5hp in pretty good condition.
A brief summary of the work it needs that I currently know about(!)
- new mainsail (actually I have already bought this before I bought the boat as the old one was shredded by being left on over two winters)
- headlining in forward birth area
- anti-fouling
- engine service, especially the carb.
- leaking windows need attention
- cockpit locker covers
and thats just the major jobs I need to do!
I have a very limited budget and with four small children time is also limited. I know this is common for many people.
I hope to describe in detail how each job is tackled and then in the future describe blissful sails into the sunset once she’s a bit more seaworthy.
