It's actually quite a rare one if it's what I think it is found it by accident when viewing something else. It's afloat on the salty stuff way down south Brighton way. i think it is a osprey or Merlin, is it for sale? looks a bit sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That's what I had it down as, one of the two Ospreys. And yes it is available, would be a brave restoration but all wooden boats are restorable, its just a case of renewing bad bits until you run out of bad bits to renew!

Vaughan Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Personally I would never buy anything that has been extensively fibreglass sheathed. That's about as bad as filling the bilges with concrete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
