Advertised on Facebook as well with lots of interesting comments. I'm fairly sure it has epoxy filler and then paint over the alloy. After the experience my mate has had with his Cole 42, stripping it back to bare alloy and leaving it bare I should imagine this boat would come out just as good. Great buy for someone not scared of getting dirty hands.

And if you didn't like how it eventuated you could probably sell the engine and winches for more than that

Free catamaran, not sure if designed for sailing but judging by the shape I would say so.
Question being, is fibreglass this far gone even salvageable?

In the early 80s I inspected a heavy displacement powerboat round bilge glass hull - no deck or cabin - about 30ft which had been propped up in the backyard for what would have been over 10 years maybe 15, completely exposed to the weather. As above the glass around and over all encapsulated timber was cracked and completely unserviceable, the timber rotted. Not saying this would be the case here but the potential would be high - the photo of the hull external surface is similar to that powerboat, with mould and algae etc a total cover. I am sure that hull would have ended up at the tip.

It looks more like a mould to me. If that's the case, then the interior (the part that matters) could be in ok condition.

Edit: With the deck mould sitting on the hull mould.

Here is a very nicely maintained Cole 32. Not 'cheap' but I looked at it last Friday and only passed on it because it was too small for me.

One of Jonathan's boats.

There are plenty of people about that just like fooling around with boats. They buy them, fit them out or restore them and sell them on and move on to the next boat.

I know exactly what you mean. I fell prey to that addiction but after 7 yachts I have cured myself of it.

Your good taste is showing.

Looks good value. Shame about the in-line spreaders and runners.

Nope

This one moored just down from me. I know the owner. Beautifully kept, properly built solid yacht with everything sorted. Custom built for the inventor of the Windex.

A top refurb effort right there, a good benchmark.

Looks like it has gone already.

Good value. These have fibreglass cockpits and cabin with plywood decks so the repairs will be dead simple.
