In Vermont clean water is a  paramount  issue as with other states. Conservation and reclamation  of resources keeps toxic materials from entering the environment. My Water reclaiming system reuses the water I use for wet sanding while the by-product is captured through a multi  filter medium . This ensures nothing will be going down the drain and into the ground or sewer systems. While I still enjoy being outside during the warmer months to do my initial washing and prep work, I still keep the heavy sanding  work inside in my containment wash booth. Also recycling these sailboats in many cases keeps them out of the landfills and on the water for many more years to come.

How to restore a classic sailboat

Restoring a classic sailboat can be a fulfilling and rewarding process, allowing you to create a personalized vessel for exploring the open sea with your family.

How to Restore a Classic Sailboat

Restoring a classic sailboat is a labor of love that can bring immense satisfaction and pride to those who embark on this journey. It’s a chance to breathe new life into a vessel that has seen better days, and to create a unique and personalized space for you and your family to enjoy the open sea. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of restoring a classic sailboat, from finding the right boat to the final touches that make it truly your own.

Table of Contents

Finding the right sailboat, assessing the condition, creating a restoration plan, hull and deck repairs, interior restoration, rigging and sails, electrical and plumbing systems, engine and propulsion, final touches.

The first step in restoring a classic sailboat is finding the right boat. This can be a challenging process, as there are many factors to consider, such as the size, age, and condition of the boat, as well as your budget and personal preferences.

When searching for a sailboat, consider the following:

  • Size : Think about how much space you and your family will need, both for living and storage. A larger boat may offer more comfort and amenities, but it will also require more work and expense to restore and maintain.
  • Age : Older boats may have more character and history, but they may also require more extensive restoration work. Be prepared to invest more time and money into an older boat.
  • Condition : Assess the overall condition of the boat, including the hull, deck, rigging, sails, and interior. A boat in poor condition may be a good candidate for restoration, but it will also require more work and expense.
  • Budget : Determine your budget for both the purchase of the boat and the restoration process. Keep in mind that restoration costs can quickly add up, so it’s important to have a realistic understanding of what you can afford.

Once you’ve found a sailboat that meets your criteria, it’s time to assess its condition in more detail. This will help you determine the extent of the restoration work required and whether the project is feasible for your budget and skill level.

Consider hiring a marine surveyor to conduct a thorough inspection of the boat. They can provide valuable insights into the condition of the hull, deck, rigging, sails, and other components, as well as identify any potential safety issues or structural problems.

Take note of any areas that require immediate attention, such as leaks, cracks, or signs of rot. These issues should be addressed before any cosmetic work is done, as they can compromise the integrity of the boat and lead to more serious problems down the line.

With a clear understanding of the boat’s condition, you can now create a restoration plan. This should outline the work that needs to be done, the order in which it should be completed, and an estimated timeline and budget for the project.

Start by prioritizing the most critical repairs, such as fixing leaks or addressing structural issues. Then, move on to less urgent tasks, such as cosmetic improvements and upgrades.

Be realistic about your abilities and the amount of time you can dedicate to the project. Restoring a sailboat can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, so it’s important to have a clear understanding of what you’re getting into before you begin.

The hull and deck are the foundation of your sailboat, and any issues with these components should be addressed as soon as possible. Common problems include cracks, blisters, and signs of rot or corrosion.

To repair cracks or holes in the hull or deck, you’ll need to clean the area thoroughly, remove any damaged material, and fill the void with an appropriate filler or epoxy. Once the repair has cured, sand the area smooth and apply a protective coating, such as paint or gelcoat.

For more extensive repairs, such as replacing large sections of the hull or deck, it may be necessary to consult with a professional boatyard or shipwright. They can provide guidance on the best materials and techniques for your specific boat and ensure that the repairs are done correctly.

Restoring the interior of your sailboat can be a rewarding process, as it allows you to create a comfortable and personalized space for you and your family. Start by assessing the condition of the interior, including the cabinetry, upholstery, and flooring.

If the cabinetry is in good condition, you may be able to simply refinish or paint the surfaces to give them a fresh look. If the cabinets are damaged or outdated, consider replacing them with new, custom-built units that meet your needs and preferences.

Upholstery can be cleaned or replaced, depending on its condition and your personal taste. New cushions, curtains, and other soft furnishings can make a big difference in the overall appearance and comfort of the interior.

Flooring options for sailboats include marine-grade carpet, vinyl, or teak. Choose a material that is durable, easy to clean, and complements the overall aesthetic of the boat.

The rigging and sails are essential components of your sailboat, and their condition will have a significant impact on the boat’s performance and safety. Inspect the rigging for signs of wear or damage, such as frayed lines, corroded fittings, or bent or cracked hardware. Replace any components that are in poor condition or no longer meet safety standards.

Sails should be inspected for tears, fraying, or signs of UV damage. Small repairs can often be made with sail tape or by sewing, but larger issues may require professional repair or replacement. Consider upgrading to modern sail materials and designs for improved performance and durability.

The electrical and plumbing systems on a classic sailboat may require updating or replacement to meet modern standards and ensure safety and reliability. Inspect the wiring, switches, and electrical components for signs of wear or damage, and replace any outdated or faulty parts.

Plumbing systems should be checked for leaks, corrosion, or other issues. Replace any damaged hoses, fittings, or fixtures, and consider upgrading to modern materials and designs for improved performance and ease of maintenance.

The engine and propulsion system are critical to the performance and safety of your sailboat. Inspect the engine for signs of wear or damage, and perform any necessary maintenance or repairs. This may include changing the oil and filters, replacing belts or hoses, or overhauling the entire engine.

The propeller and shaft should also be inspected for signs of wear or damage, and any issues should be addressed promptly. Consider upgrading to a modern, efficient propulsion system for improved performance and fuel efficiency.

With the major restoration work complete, it’s time to add the final touches that make your sailboat truly your own. This may include installing new electronics and navigation equipment, adding custom artwork or graphics, or outfitting the boat with personalized accessories and gear.

Take the time to celebrate your hard work and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your restored classic sailboat is now ready for new adventures and memories with your family.

Restoring a classic sailboat is a challenging but rewarding endeavor that can provide you and your family with a unique and personalized vessel for exploring the open sea. By carefully assessing the condition of the boat, creating a detailed restoration plan, and tackling the project one step at a time, you can breathe new life into a once-neglected boat and create a lasting legacy for future generations.

Sailboat restoration projects to get our boat ready for living aboard

Immediately after arriving in Washington from our delivery trip up the coast , we hauled out at a boat yard in Anacortes for the winter. We had a long list of sailboat restoration projects to tackle before we would be ready to move aboard that summer. 

Undoing the damage from our delivery

REPAIR FORESTAY If you recall from our trip up the coast, our forestay and storm jib went crashing into the water during a storm as we rounded Cape Flaherty. Fortunately, the forestay isn’t crucial to support our free-standing mast, but it is crucial for running our headsail. We repaired the forestay using an industrial adhesive called Crestabond (it has now been over two-years, and our forestay is holding up perfectly!)

FIX LEAKS Over a decade of sitting in dry, sunny Southern California didn’t do any favors for our boat’s water-tightness. All porthole gaskets were dried out and cracking, and every hatch leaked around the acrylic. We replaced all gaskets and treated them with Vaseline to keep them hydrated. We then re-sealed all deck hatches around the acrylic. 

REPAIR MAIN SAIL Since our mainsail tore from leech to luff as we left San Francisco, it needed a solid professional repair. Funny enough, as we were removing the sail and getting ready for our haul-out in Anacortes, we ran into a sailmaker from the Seattle area on the dock. He offered to take our sail then and there, and we were more than happy to hand it over. North Sails did a phenomenal job with our repair, extending the life of our tired, 30-year-old sail for at least another few seasons.  

Getting rid of the stink

When we first went to look at our boat before making an offer to buy it, the biggest thing that stood out was the STINK. I’m talking plug your nose, can’t get used to it kind of smell. At the very top of our list of sailboat restoration projects before we could even think about moving aboard included eradicating the stink for good.

REPLACE HEADLINER The original headliner (ceiling) throughout the boat was made of thin wood panels wrapped in foam-backed vinyl. There was some visible discoloration, but once we removed a panel we realized nearly every inch behind the boards was moldy. We ripped out each panel, made templates, and installed new headliner throughout the boat using a plastic polywall material. No more mold for us! This was one of our bigger sailboat restoration projects that was challenging to DIY. Aside from a few YouTube how-to videos, there wasn’t much info out there for how to tackle this project without paying a professional to do the job. We learned a lot and would change a few things in retrospect. I’ll have to write more about this project in a future post!

REPLACE SANITATION HOSES/INSTALL COMPOSTING HEAD If you’ve spent some time around boats you’re probably well accustomed to the typical smell that comes with any boat head. Well this was on another level. It was clear the sanitation hoses in both heads had never been replaced, and the smell was now a permanent guest. Chris got the dirty job of removing all hoses, removing and cleaning the holding tanks, and reinstalling new hoses. We opted to only keep one traditional head and holding tank then replace our aft head with a composting system.

REMOVE HULL-SIDE CARPET AND PAINT STORAGE AREAS The insides of our large storage cubbies had a lining of old, dusty, musty carpet that had to go. We ripped out the carpet which was harboring all kinds of smells and opted for a fresh coat of paint instead. While we were at it, cleaned and repainted the insides of all large storage areas where we would stow food, household items, and sailing gear.

REFRESH CUSHIONS Most cushions throughout the boat also had some mold inside the foam. Getting brand new cushions and upholstery was well outside of our budget, so we opted for a deep clean. We removed and washed all fabric covers, then cleaned the foam cushions with a garden hose, tarp, and mold control products. I think some people are quick to think you need all new cushions on a boat every 10-years or so. If you have good quality cushions to begin with, you can really extend their life with cleaning and a bit of care. 

Exterior sailboat restoration projects

INSTALL SOLAR PANELS AND WIND GENERATOR Having power while at anchor is much more sustainable when you can harness the power of the sun and wind. We installed two rigid 100 Watt Renogy solar panels on our stern pulpit and two 110 Watt flexible panels on our dodger. We also refurbished and installed a free wind generator that had a failed internal part. After some research, Chris ordered a relatively cheap part that he was able to solder and install inside the generator housing. It works perfectly! 

INSTALL WIFI Having reliable WiFi on a boat takes a bit more effort than calling up an internet provider and plugging into the wall. The SeaBits blog by Steve Mitchell was particularly helpful for us when sorting out which system would work best for us. We ended up installing a MikroTik unit, which generally works great to amplify other WiFi channels and open hotspots for us to connect to. 

REMOVE RADAR REFLECTOR FROM THE MAST The radar reflector on the mast above the forestay was a significant hazard each time we hoisted the main sail. The halyard would wrap around the unit and jam up, making it hard to hoist or drop the sail. We removed the large reflector and now have a smaller tube reflector installed on the stainless-steel mast at the stern.

PAINT THE BOTTOM Marine organisms and time did a number on the existing bottom paint, so it was time for a refresher. We taped off the water line, ground down the old paint, put barrier coat on the lead keel, and applied new anti-foulant bottom paint.  

BUFF THE HULL AND INSTALL THE NEW NAME A little buff and shine goes a long way to liven up tired gel coat. Once the hull sparkled, we installed vinyl decals with the new name, Constellation , and hailing port.

Interior comforts

UPGRADE LIGHTS TO LED The original lights on the boat were old, inefficient, and dated. LED lights require very little power, will last virtually forever, and just plain look good.

CLEAN TANKS AND INSTALL WATER FILTER Our boat has a large water tank that we fill regularly and use for drinking, showering, and cooking. Before moving aboard, we treated the tanks with a bit of bleach, flushed them generously, and tested the water quality. We then installed a water filter at the galley faucet to make sure our drinking water was particularly fresh.

UPGRADE GALLEY AND SHOWER FIXTURES This was such a simple change that made a huge different for quality of life on board. Boats typically have small, utilitarian, “boat-y” faucets and shower set ups that just aren’t very luxurious. Swapping the old shower head and galley sink faucet was quick and easy but really helped modernize each space. 

REPLACE MATTRESS The original mattress on the boat was just plain old and gross. The tricky thing with boat mattresses is they rarely fit a standard size. You have to either order a custom mattress or get creative. We got creative and cut our current foam mattress to shape using an electric turkey shaver and a bread knife. Hey, it worked!

12 Tips For Restoring an Old Boat: Costs, Time, And Expert Advice

Looking at restoring an old boat chris mccall shares his expert advice..

sailboat restoration for sale

So, you’re thinking of buying an old boat and bringing her back to her former glory? Awesome! Get ready for hard work and frustration culminating in an ultra-rewarding experience.

Buying and refitting an old sailboat is totally worth it! You won’t build a ton of equity in the boat, but you will know every square inch of that vessel, and the skills you gain will be invaluable.

My wife and I just finished the three-year refit of our 1972 Nauticat 38, Drifter, and now live aboard in Portland Oregon. As soon as the weather cooperates, we plan to take him (Yep, Drifter’s a fella) south and begin cruising full-time.

Here are my top tips to help with your refit. Most I followed; some I wish I would have.

During The Buying Process

Get one of the best knives for sailing

Before you buy your perfect renovation project boat, here are a few tips to follow so you don’t fall short at the first hurdle.

#1 Know what you’re getting into

sailing a sailboat project out of the harbour

Refitting a boat is not an easy undertaking, and the single biggest thing keeping you from success is your tenacity to see it through. There are so many boats for sale, half-finished, because the undertaking was a lot more than their owners predicted. So….

#2 Plan, Plan, Plan.

This post is a great place to start. Start taking notes and tour as many boats as you can to gather ideas.

Talk to people that know. Read books. Read articles. Watch YouTube refit videos. Join social media groups focusing on refits, interior design, electrical systems, electronics, and boat makes you’re interested in.

I know the excitement is high but take a beat and make sure you make a logic driven decision based on research. There will be time to fall in love later.

#3 Make a core list of what you want from restoring an old boat

sanding and painting a restoration sailboat

List the makes, lengths, characteristics, and price range and stick to it.

Then make a list of “nice to haves” and look for boats that have as many as you can find. If you go in with a clear understanding of what you want, and the deal breakers associated, it’s much easier to make a smart decision.

#4 Let someone else take the depreciation if you can

If you’re going to be refitting, you’ll be taking on plenty of depreciation as soon as you start installing your new electronics, appliances, and equipment, so minimize it by finding a boat where the previous owner has installed as much of this stuff as possible.

New engine? Awesome! Just upgraded all the navigation equipment? Great. New refrigeration unit? That helps. Let the last guy take the hit for 50 cents on the dollar.

Wondering how much sailboats cost ? Get a rough idea here.

#5 Buy cheap and pay cash if you can

restoring an old boat by installing walls

Boats are not like houses. There isn’t nearly as much competition for boats that need a fair bit of work, because you won’t build a bunch of equity refitting like you would flipping a home.

Don’t expect to save tons of money refitting the boat yourself. You may save yourself a little but the real value is in the knowledge of the vessel and the skills you’ll gain.

So be ready to offer significantly less than asking, and don’t be surprised if they take it.

#6 Include a survey contingency and evaluate your prospective project from top to bottom

Do you have to hire a surveyor? No. But if you don’t, get ready to learn all you can about the process, and go over every square inch.

Know someone super knowledgeable you can ask to help? DO IT! Do not be afraid to walk away. Getting attached leads to bad decisions.

Now That You’ve Got Your Boat Restoration Project

a man at the helm of a sailboat refit project

So you’ve found your dream boat (to be!) Here are the next steps in restoring an old boat.

#7 Create a conservative budget

Take your number and pad it by 30%. It is all too easy to let costs get out of hand. Do your homework. The more knowledge that goes into that budget, the less costs will surprise you. Front end work pays huge dividends.

#8 Come up with an educated guess at the timeline in total work hours

And then multiply it by 4 (If you know someone who does this work a lot, take their estimate and double it; they are faster than you)!

Then break it down into phases to make the overall project less daunting. Tracking your working time in hours keeps focus and doesn’t punish you for life getting in the way.

I made a game of it by tracking my active work-on-the-boat time in hours with an app called Toggl. If you’re at all competitive, this really pushes you to keep getting out there to beat your weekly and monthly bests. Celebrate the small victories; don’t punish the shortcomings.

#9 Build in expandability, especially in your electoral system (think battery space)

Make sure you have spare breakers on your panel and room in your conduits. Always install pull strings. No one in the 70s could have imagined the electrical needs of the modern boat, so don’t make the same mistake.

Future you will thank you.

If you’re reinstalling batteries then check out the best lithium marine batteries . Aim for a slightly bigger bank than you think you’ll need! ⚡ We highly recommend BattleBorn LiFePO4 batteries ⚡

#10 Experiment with clever ideas for maximizing your space

Keep what works. Tweak what needs adjusting. And scrap the flops. This is your opportunity to get creative. Test your original ideas.

Copy what others have done on their boats and modify what you find when researching tiny living and RV sources. Sometimes building a custom solution is the right way to go, but they often don’t work as expected.

If a production solution is available, it may cost slightly more but will save you more in time and headache.

As an example, we built our own propane alarm and on/off solenoid because the commercially available one seemed so expensive (and I thought it was ugly).

Finding all the components took hours and hours, and when I had collected them all, I’d only saved about 25%. Installing everything, and getting the sniffer, switches, and solenoid to all work together, was a huge headache. If I could do it all again, I’d just buy that ugly thing.

#11 Stick with it

a couple working on fixing up an old boat

The paradox of a major boat refit is that with little exception, every job sucks. Some suck a lot. You’ll have your head below your ass, sanding for hours, crammed in a tiny locker, but the satisfaction you’ll feel at the end of the day makes it all worthwhile.

Over the weeks and months of our old sailboat restoration, I experienced periods of high motivation where working on the boat was the only thing I wanted to do.

Things like eating, sleeping, and my day job just got in the way.

Other times, making myself get out there was like getting a 6-year-old to eat peas: damn near impossible. Motivational ebb and flow is a natural part of any long undertaking, but you have to push through it and keep going.

Don’t be another person selling a partially refitted boat. STICK WITH IT!

#12 Use perfection as the unachievable goal that it is

a sailboat cockpit

Instead, focus on safety and functionality. The goal is to get out there and enjoy your hard work, not worry away over every imperfection. You’re the only one that will notice anyway.

You’re never going to actually finish the boat refit; there will always be items on the to-do list. Once she’s fully functional and safe, go enjoy her. You can work on the never-ending list as you go.

Refitting Drifter was one of the single most rewarding undertakings I’ve ever done.

We live aboard, so every day I’m surrounded by the fruits of our labor. While there are flaws, the good far exceeds the bad. I know every system, and every nook and cranny. Get out there and find your opportunity. In the end, you’ll be so glad that you did!

Conclusion: Tips For Restoring an Old Boat

If you’re lucky enough to find an old boat that’s still in good shape, then you’re well on your way to having a great time out on the water. With just a little bit of elbow grease and know-how, you can have your boat sailing like new again.

Thanks for reading and we hope these tips helped!

Chris and Kelly on their restored old sailboat

Chris and his wife Kelly bought their 1972 Nauticat 38 in April of 2017, and in May of 2019 went full steam ahead with an extensive refit in the driveway of their home in Portland OR.

They splashed and christened Drifter in the summer of 2022 and moved aboard full-time that September.

They are awaiting a weather window to tackle the wild west coast of the United States and begin cruising full-time starting with Mexico and Central America with the intent of continuing west.

Bristol 32 Project Sailboat

Bristol 32 Project Sailboat

Bokeelia, Florida

Make Bristol

Posted Over 1 Month

1975 Bristol 32This is a project boat. Everything is there, it just needs work. I bought this boat as a project, but don't have the time to do it justice. It would be a beautiful classic cruising boat if restored. I took the engine out of the boat to work on it. Universal Atomic 4, 30 hp, gasoline. Replaced original water pump with a new improved quick change pump. Engine starts and runs fine. New plugs, points, wires, paint. Can start and run engine as it sits. The hull is sound below the water line as far as I can tell. I have not had the boat pulled, but I see no evidence of blisters or damage. The cabin top suffered some damage, and the repairs were not well done. Easy fix. The swing keel cable is broken. I have the keel tied up. The boat needs to be on the hard to have the cable fixed. The mechanical systems are all intact, but must be gone through. The steering gear was moved and replaced, with new pulleys and cable. The wheel and binnacle are in good shape. The head has been worked on recently, with new hoses and other parts. There is a frig/freezer chest, alcohol stove and sink. I replaced the bilge pump. The water tanks appear to be clean and in good condition. Many of the tapered bronze seacocks are frozen. They are high quality and can be rebuilt, but the boat should be out of the water for safety. None of the electronics work. The rigging is complete. There are two mainsails. The one on the boat I have not looked at. The second one is in good shape. There are 2 or 3 jibs, all show little sign of wear. There is a complete set of cockpit canvas that never seems to have been used. The dodger plastic needs to be replaced from old age. There is also a light sun shade. There is a set of cockpit cushions that are good. Some of the interior cushions are missing, and the rest need to be recovered. The boat comes with a bosuns chair and safety harness. I also have a rebuild kit for the Gusher emergency pump, new cutlass bearing, new prop shaft packing.

32' CATAMARAN SAILBOAT HULL / LARGE PROJECT SAILBOAT

32' CATAMARAN SAILBOAT HULL / LARGE PROJECT SAILBOAT

Dayton, Ohio

Relisting do to non-paying low feedback Buyer..... Up for sale is a 32' Catamaran sailboat hull in need of a total rebuild. This open water sailboat is in poor condition but the hull is ridged and strong. I purchased this sailboat from a marina in Waukegan IL in 2008. The marina did provide me with a clear title. The hull is thick fiberglass and we considered it a good candidate for a full rebuild. The hull is the only thing we considered usable on the entire boat. Lower hull is all glass and very ridged. One thing that will need to be fixed, there is a steel skid runner that extends the entire length of the bottom of the hull, (it is a piece of like 1.5" x 1.5" angle iron that they bonded to the bottom of the hull). This runner should have been out of stainless or aluminum but it was done in steel and it is rusting. A line of fiberglass around it has split. You will want to simply cut out all of this steel skid runner and either replace it or simply remove it as it is not needed. There was an inboard engine and drive but I parted that out some time ago as it was not going to be part of the rebuild I had planned. There is also a large aluminum mast with roller furler included but the mast was damaged while in storage, (yard maintenance guy drove over it about 4' from the top). This catamaran hull will need a total rebuild and is sold AS/IS. Do not buy this boat if you are thinking you can just paint it and throw some sails on it. Transport is of course the issue. There is no trailer. Beam is a little over 14', (we permitted at 14' for transport). I personally, would think about sectioning the boat right down the center for transport. I have done this before to a 45' boat that we were reconfiguring. It can be done in a day with a common circular saw. It can then easily be pulled with a gooseneck trailer and a p/u truck. Another possible transport strategy would be to find a carrier who can haul the boat on a 45degee angle on a low deck trailer. We can crane load from our location on to your transport or you can possibly just back the trailer under the elevated twin hulls. Loading and transport is obviously at buyers expense. I am sorry, I simply do not have the time to get involved with transport estimates and logistics. Good luck bidding and please, no zero feedback or low feedback buyers unless you contact me first. ****The Ohio River is less than 50 miles away from our location. There have been Ebayer's suggestions that possibly some basic hull repair is done on location and then the cat is towed down the Ohio River. This is a possible transport solution.

Category Racer Boats

International 14 Sailboat Project*****RE-LISTED DUE TO NON-PAYING BUYER****** I bought this to restore to original International racing boat configuration. Listed as a 1970 (date required for listing) but I have no idea when it was built The previous owner wanted simpler rigging and had filled and faired most of the original fitting holes. The fiberglass hull/ deck is almost ready for paint. The original rigging and fittings are included which I had intended to remount, as is the plywood foredeck to use for a pattern for replacement. Sails include the main and two headsails.These boats are very popular and there are many I-14 chapters/ clubs for organized racing. I purchased the trailer separately and had new tires, wheels and hubs installed. All the lighting has been checked and is fully functional. There is also a custom dolly to allow easy positioning for the restoration project. It would be relatively easy to continue the conversion to a more simply rigged day sailor by modifying the original rigging/ fittings and shortening the mast if desired. I don’t have the time or space required to finish this project so am selling it for less than the value of the like new trailer. Local pickup only. Trailer requires 1 7/8" hitch ball. Paypal or cash only.No negative or zero feedback bidders unless you contact me first.USA and Canada only.

1996 Hunter 336 sailboat great project boat

1996 Hunter 336 sailboat great project boat

Panama City, Florida

Make Hunter

Story of the Kathryn Ann...I bought this boat in 2004 off of eBay from an insurance website that sells boats that have been damaged. In this particular case, Hurricane Isabelle ran up the eastern coast and hit the marina this boat was stored at in Maryland, in which the waves beat the boat on the starboard side into the dock piling resulting in damage to the side of the boat and the interior walls of the bathroom (opposite side of the hull damage). I had the boat shipped to me in Panama City, FL where I started the rebuild. Upon arrival of the boat, I took everything out of it and rinsed it all down. I could tell that water had entered the boat and looked as if it had rolled over to its starboard side down in the water a bit because I could see the water line marks. The boat was in fresh water, but where the storm churned up the water, there was a blanket of dirt in the part of the cabin from the water intrusion. Everything cleaned up pretty well except the wood from the water line down was stained. I took the motor out, which is a Yanmar 3GM30F, and had a diesel mechanic go through it and luckily no water got in the engine and it has ran like a top since I have had it. I repaired the hull with the best glass and resins from RAKA in south Florida, never had any problems since the repair. Once I finished up the hull repair, I went ahead and put it in the water to start enjoying it with the intentions of working on it on the weekends to finish it up. Unfortunately not long after putting the boat in the water, I got orders to be stationed in Colorado (Air Force guy) where there is little water! I have been trying to get back to Panama City every since with no luck. So I would come down a couple times a year to try to complete the finish work, but never seemed to get it completed because I would rather take it out with the boys and have fun instead of work on it! As much as it kills me, I need to let her go so that the next person can finish what I started and bring her back to her ol' glory, plus my family never got into it like I hoped, it's a great boat that needs to be used. I'll try my best to describe what still needs to be done...I have rewired most of the DC, never messed with the AC for the simple fact that I didn't have a hook-up available, so that will need to be gone through, the key switch on the operator panel needs to be replaced, I have a lot of new line, but some will still need to be replaced, the anchor light on top of the mast needs replacing, the teak needs to be cleaned and re oiled, there are some pieces that will need to be replaced, the cushions in the front cabin have some water damage (see pic), I have some extra material to do this, but would recommend something a little less 1980s in there. There is a little tear in one of the seat cushions, see pic. Need fuel gauge put in, have one on the boat, just not installed yet. Needs new instruments (speed/depth) possibly just transducer, I used a friends electronics when I took it out for depths. The bathroom needs to be finished, everything works, just needs finishing. Starboard side bumper over repair needs securing. I used the propane system for the stove 5-6 yrs ago, but would recommend going through that to make sure everything checks out. All the stainless needs polishing. Needs bottom paint. A couple of the deck poles need the base rewelded and resealed to the boat, that is where some of the water leaked in the boat over the years. There are some chips in the gelcoat on the rear right side (top deck) from something pecking on it, some gelcoat cracks from age, nothing major, aesthetic stuff. There may be a few more things here and there like screws that need replaced or line, but to the best of my knowledge, that's about it. This is a great buy for a Father/son deal to teach your kids the ins and outs of a sailboat without spending a huge chunk of cash, plus not worry about the kid dinking up a big money boat. Or great for a person to take to the keys or the beaches of the Gulf. Good Luck...hit me up with any questions! I've tried to describe this the best I can, this is not a new boat, so please don't expect one. The boat is sold as-is...where is, come get it! Thanks for looking!

Model Futura

Category Cruiser Motorcycles

Length 22.0

This boat is a Rhodes design and was made to be blue water capable (see the Seafarer Research Center website). It's a great project sailboat/trailer package for those with the spare time, skills and place to do the work or the money to pay others to do it for them. The boat needs bottom stripping/sanding and paint, as well as a tiller handle (just the wooden portion, not the bracket that is present). The trailer (1989 Shoreline) needs a jack stand top and a fender (see pics), but recently made it down here from Maryland. Sails (main and roller furling jib) are in very good shape. You are welcome to inspect her prior to bidding; please contact me here to arrange it. The photos are about a week old. I've only owned her a few weeks and upon delivery, realized she is more of a project than I have the time or place for. I'm cutting my losses and will not make a profit on this sale. She is for sale locally, so this listing may end early. Thanks for looking!

Fellsmere, Florida

Length 32.0

This is a truly unique vessel. She has been fully restored and refitted. Boat is a must see. She comes rigged superior to many boats in her class with; separate spinnaker and jib tracks, retracting spinnaker pole. The running rigging is brought back to the cockpit for easy handling through line clutches and new harken winches (6 total). These are just a few of the features that make this an awesome vessel. A list of features of the boat is below, also if you have any questions feel free to email me and I will be happy to answer them. More pictures are available. Standing rigging and mast is new to the boat (2005) and engine is new (2010) 28hp Beta (marinized Kubota) The boat was in the water 2.5 years before I had to pull her out and store her on the hard to return to school. I began a process of retrofitting and improving some of her accessories having cruised her to the Chesapeake and back. Upgrades include diesel cabin heater, lengthened and reinforced companionway hatch, smaller engine box, electric anchor windlass. As projects go, one turned into another and I decided to strip the deck (then the hull) to repaint (paint was approaching 10 yrs old). Lots of sanding and fairing and the boat now is primed (545 epoxy primer) and faired smopoth ready for finish coat. Boat comes with a gallon of Awlcraft Royal Blue and Moondust (light beige) for the hull and deck which are the same colors the boat had on it. The boat is COMPLETE with ALL nuts and fasteners all in labeled bags with a diagram. The boat is disassembled and READY FOR PAINT and reassembly. This vessel continues to be a head turner and with a little diligent work will be back in the water by winter. The boat comes with a heavy duty cover in addition to the canopy pictured. These two things make all the difference when working in the Florida heat. Unfortunately my job has taken me to a place where no sailor wishes to go… a landlocked city, so the boat cannot accompany me and I am too far away to be able to finish her. As much as I hate to see her go, she has provided me some very fond memories and it’s time for her to go to a new home. Inquire with questions, more photos available. Electronics: Raymarine navigation suite includes - Large screen cockpit mounted chartplotter (radar display, gps etc) - ST 60 digital wind instrument - ST 60 digital depth instrument and transducer - ST 60 digital speed instrument - Mast mounted radar - Wheel mounted autopilot w/ gyro controlled computer Other electronics include - New battery banks (3 West Marine AGM's, installed December 2010) - 3 stage battery charger and monitor - AM/FM/Sirius Satellite Radio with CD Player - 2 Handlheld VHF Radios - 1 fixed Uniden VHF with mast mounted antenna (DCS capable) - Fluorescent salon lighting - Bulkhead mounted lighting in forward V-berth, head and 2 quarter berths - Outfitted with AC & DC current (must be plugged into shore power for AC) - Removable hatch mounted air conditioner - Lewmar V700 anchor windlass - 12v and 120v outlets - Dickinson marine diesel cabin heater Plumbing - Mounted Wilcox head set up for type III sewage handling (sewage goes to a holding tank and then can be either pumped ashore or overboard) - Macerator pump - 1- 120 gal/hr automatic bilge pump - 1- 500 gal/hr electric bilge pump - 1- gusher emergency bilge pump with deck mounted pump - 20 gallon freshwater holding tank - 20 gallon wastewater holding tank Engine - 2010 Beta 28- BD1005 (marinized Kubota diesel), installed January 2011, less than 300 hrs - Raytheon fuel/water separator and filter - 100amp alternator and serpentine belt - New propeller (January 2011), shaft (January 2011), shaft log May (2010) and packing (installed May 2011) - New diesel tank, removed cleaned and reinstalled during repower - Cockpit mounted gauges and engine controls - Roomy engine box, removable for easy and complete engine access - Easily serviceable engine (forward mounted oil and fuel filters, engine mounted oil change pump) - Rate of burn 1/2 gal/hr Additional Navigation - Hull mounted nav lights - Mast mounted anchor and steaming lights - East Coast charts and chart books from MD to Florida Keys and Bahamas (less than a year old) Hull - Hull painted in AwlCraft blue and topsides in moondust (much easier to touch up that AwlGrip and just as durable) - Generous amount of Petit Ticoat and Trinidad antifouling paint (July 2010 initial, inspected out of water in January 2011) - Rudder and shaft mounted zincs Rigging - New (2005) Z-Spar mast, standing and running rigging - New (2005) mainsail with three reefs and cover - New (2005) 135% genoa w/ self furling - New (2010) Gale Sail storm jib (hoists over furled genoa, simple to use) - All sheets and halyards are routed to the cockpit for easy handling - Halyards routed through deck mounted cam cleats - Larger than original 2-speed self tailing Harken winches (6-total) - Mainsheet on Harken traveler and Hexaratchet block

The hull and exterior are in great shape and with a little TLC on the inside this boat has a lot of potential.

Beautiful Cal 22 sailboat

Beautiful Cal 22 sailboat

Los Gatos, California

I'm afraid I need to sell my Cal 22 sailboat. I bought this boat in the fall, and spent the winter making everything clean and safe. I inspected and tuned-up the mast, the hull, the upholstery, the electronics, etc.. She was launched 7 weeks ago. And unfortunately, 6 weeks ago my wife and kids decided that they hate sailing. This boat comes with a ton of extras, and a trailer. It can be easily trailed to anywhere you might wish with any kind of truck or SUV, and it draws no water. It has a 9.9 Honda that always starts, and also a very clean set of sails. The whole boat was professionally reupholstered a few years back. It has a West Marine dinghy, autopilot, stove, bbq, toilet. Because of it's length, berthing fees are cheap. I pay $100/month to berth in San Mateo. Insurance is also cheap. I pay $125/year to insure with Boat US, and $180/year for CA registration. I am happy to deliver this boat anywhere in California for a reasonable price. Here are the specifics:Motor: Honda 9.9, 5 gallon gas tank; recently cleaned and filled; 1 container of engine oilRudder: easily removable for trailering; new in 2002. Tiller: One is brand new and nicely varnished; the other is a spare; comes with a cover to protect the varnish; two telescoping tiller extensions; Autopilot: I'm not kidding. Who installs an autopilot on a 22 foot sailboat?Transom traveler: keeps the cockpit nice and cleanStanchions: Vey solid; guardrails were recently inspected and tightened; new guardrail covers come with the boat, as well as baby or pet netting. Sails: mainsail, jib, genoa, and spinaker, with two spinaker poles (all new in 2003; cost approx $2400)Boom/Mast: everything washed, inspected and lubed in April 2014. Nothing overlooked. Halyards runs smoothly. Has a excellent masthead windex.Lines: All halyards and sheets washed and inspected this past winter. Electronics: Compass and depth finder mounted permanently in boat. Electric system works nicely. There is a solar panel that trickle charges the 12v battery; this powers the autopilot, the masthead light, the bow and transom lights, the cabin lights, and depth finder. All connections look good.Navigation: GPS and chart plotter (via netbook)Docking: 2 fenders, several docks lines, 2 boat hooks.Anchors: two anchors, one brand new; chains inspected, cleaned and lubed in April 2014Bellow deck; nice, clean pillows and upholstery ($1872 project in 2011); new alcohol stove, water tank, sink, toilet, cooler, removable wood dining tableEmergency supplies: flares, fire extinguisher, fog hornWinches: Nice clean winches for the jib sheetJib Furler: This thing looks like overkill on a 22-footer, but is actually really convenient, especially when you're the only person on deck who can sail. Other: Bucket with boat cleaning supplies (soap, brushes, sponges, etc. . ..); West Marine inflatable dinghy, with 2 oars and lifting strapsPaperwork: Trailer registered with DMV; has a Permanent Trailer Identification card (registration never expires); Boat is registered until January 1, 2016. DMV charges $180/year. Boat is fully insured with Boat US. The policy costs me $125/yearComes with original CAL 22 owner's manual from 1987; and the Honda outboard motor manual Delivery: I could deliver her anywhere in California for a reasonable shipping fee. Thanks for looking. Call or write with questions. Geoff

1951 Chesapeake Bay “Deadrise” Skiff

EGRET  (Ex-FOUR SISTERS) is a classic 1951 Chesapeake Bay “Deadrise” Skiff built in Shady Side, Maryland.  She is a quintessential example of the workboats indigenous to Chesapeake Bay.  She is now fully restored and converted to day-cruising, party, and entertainment use.

For more info on the “deadrise” type of workboat design, rarely found outside the Chesapeake, see the brief historical survey at the end of this listing.

EGRET comes to the market from the collection of a passionate yachtsman and expert restorer of significant yachts and antique cars.  EGRET remains true to her heritage in terms of her profile, lines, all-wood structure and construction method. However, the objective of her restoration was to transform a faded work and fishing boat into a museum quality vessel to serve as a beautiful and gracious entertaining and day-yachting platform.

At the June 2017 WoodenBoat Show at the Mystic Seaport, CT., EGRET was awarded the “Best in Show – Professional Restoration” prize.

EGRET is sure to provide years of enjoyment and pride of ownership to the enthusiast looking for a historically accurate craft with modern comforts for use as a pleasure day-boat today.

EGRET  (Ex-FOUR SISTERS) was designed and built in 1951 by Robert F. “Frizzy” Atwell (1902-1994) – the lead new-construction foreman at the famous Trumpy shipyard in Annapolis. Atwell had been a Chesapeake fisherman early in his career, and occasionally built deadrise boats for his own account at his home at Shady Side, MD (20 miles south of Annapolis), using discarded Trumpy lumber. Effectively, EGRET could be considered a custom Trumpy deadrise – built from Trumpy lumber by a Trumpy foreman.

FOUR SISTERS was built for Ellsworth Brown, an African-American commercial fisherman also based at Shady Side, who had four sisters and named his boat for them. He owned and worked FOUR SISTERS for 35 years.  After Brown’s death in 1986, FOUR SISTERS briefly had three other pleasure owners on the Chesapeake. During one of their ownership, FOUR SISTERS’ forward cabin configuration was substantially modified. 

By 1993, however, FOUR SISTERS’ days of either fishing or pleasure use were over: she sank at her owner’s home dock in a cove off the Wye River.  Before she sank, FOUR SISTERS had attracted the attention of Peter Max, a Washington, DC businessman with a home on the Chesapeake, who had long admired her lines and profile. Max had the boat raised from the bottom in 1994, and brought to the Oxford Boat Yard, then and now one of the most capable wooden-boat yards on the Bay. In a first restoration entailing over 3,000 man-hours of craftsmanship, FOUR SISTERS was completely re-built, and re-launched at Oxford in 1995.

Mr. Max restored FOUR SISTERS meticulously to her original profile and to great structural and cosmetic condition. But he also owned a number of other major boats, including the last Trumpy built. As a result, FOUR SISTERS enjoyed little actual use during his ownership: in the 22 years between her first refit at Oxford and her second refit in 2017, her 1995 Chrysler engine had only clocked 138 hours !

After Mr. Max’s death, FOUR SISTERS was purchased in mid-2016 by a wooden sail- and powerboat enthusiast from Newport, Rhode Island, who had long admired her on the Chesapeake. To the great credit of Oxford Boat Yard, the 1994-95 refit had been so thorough and successful that FOUR SISTERS’ hull still remained in pristine structural condition twenty years later.

The new owner also found that several of the Oxford Boat Yard craftsmen who had participated in FOUR SISTERS’ 1994-95 refit were still active at the yard. So, he asked Oxford Boat Yard (now part of the Brewer chain of marinas and boatyards) to do a second major refit on her – concentrating on mechanical and cosmetic issues.

Thus, in 2016-17, FOUR SISTERS, now re-named EGRET, was again refurbished to state-of-the-art technical, cosmetic, and ABYC standards at Brewer Oxford Boat Yard by some of the same craftsmen who had worked on her 20 years before, as well as their younger colleagues.  

After Oxford completed the 2017 refit, EGRET was trucked from Maryland to Rhode Island Mooring Services, North Kingstown, RI, where final cosmetic work was undertaken, including complete painting and varnishing.

At the June 2017 WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport, EGRET was awarded the “Best in Show – Professional Restoration” prize.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Emergence of the Deadrise: An Overview

The first peoples of the Chesapeake Bay, the Powhatan Indians, used dugout canoes to capture fish, oysters, clams, and crabs for food. In the early 1600s, English settlers adopted the Indian dugout canoe, first paddled or poled, then fitted with a sail, to navigate and fish the shallow waters of the Bay and its tributaries.

After the Civil War, as the region’s population grew and standards of living rose, larger sailing canoes were designed to carry heavier loads of clams and oysters. The “Bugeye,” as this type of boat was known, was typically a seven- to nine-log canoe with a full deck, forward cabin, and twin masts.

Eventually, bugeyes became too expensive to build, so watermen switched to frame-planked boats – the “skipjack” and the “deadrise,” the two principal workboat design types on the Chesapeake until World War II and beyond.

“Skipjacks,” typically 40-50 feet in length, had a raked single mast and very long boom. A large sail plan provided power for the skipjacks’ (and later the deadrise’s) main function: pulling oyster dredges, particularly in light air, with minimal crew.

The “deadrise” design emerged in the 1880s from an earlier Chesapeake sail-powered skiff shape, known locally as a “bateau” (French for “boat”). “Deadrise” boats were so called due to the transition from the V-shaped bottom at the boat’s bow to a flat angle between the keel (as it levels off to a horizontal line) and the rise from the keel upward to the chine (or sideboards). Deadrises had shallow draft – only two to three feet – making them practical for use on the shallow Chesapeake Bay and its estuaries.

Early deadrise boats (1900-1910) were mainly 20-30 feet long, for use crabbing. By the 1920s and 1930s, deadrises were used for oystering and fin-fishing, and were somewhat longer: up to 38 feet long; many had round sterns. The 42-footers came next after World War II, as builders were able to get 42-foot-long keels. Then in the 1960s-70s and 80s, 45-50 footers came along to provide the wider/longer hull needed in Virginia’s winter crab dredge fishery. There were also a few unique, far longer deadrises: the 100-foot MARY-DEL was built in the late 1920s by Lin Price of Deltaville.

Deadrise styles were tailored to local needs. Boats for southern areas of the Bay had stronger planking to withstand the rougher, taller waves there. Maryland builders typically used very shallow standard boat shapes, reflecting the Bay’s shallower northern tributaries.

Early Chesapeake deadrise designs also reflected Northeastern, as well as local, influences. After the Civil War, the north’s oyster fields began to be depleted, so New York and New England fishermen in search of new fishing grounds moved to the Chesapeake. They brought with them workboat designs derived from the New Haven “Sharpie” designs of the 1840s, adapted in the workboats of the New York City area and finally blended with the older Chesapeake Bay shapes.

By the late 19th century, essentially industrial boat builders had emerged in Europe and the Northeastern USA. They systematized construction: using drawings or three-dimensional models, and factory methods; and building in volume. By contrast, Chesapeake Bay work boats were traditionally built without drawings, based only on artisanal methods known on the Bay as the “rack of eye.” Deadrise builders typically worked with a few helpers, and built only a few boats per year. They usually sought wood in nearby forests or from local saw-mills, and used simple traditional hand-tools.

As internal combustion engines emerged after 1900, deadrise builders replaced sails with motors adapted from cars, trucks, and factory engines, modifying the boats’ hull shapes to improve performance under engine power. Many older, deadrise boats with gas power are still active on the Bay…but today, diesel power is preferred.

Until after World War II, many areas near the Chesapeake Bay, especially on the “Eastern Shore,” were not widely served by interior roads – so, until a few generations ago, skipjacks and deadrise boats were a principal means of local transportation for much of the rural population, as well as for fishing and carrying freight.

Fiberglass emerged as a boat-building material after World War II. As the costs of lumber and of wooden boat-maintenance rose, wooden deadrise designs were gradually replaced by fiberglass ones, a trend that also led to volume construction of standardized models. Even today, however, one still sees many older wooden deadrise boats on the Chesapeake, especially in the traditional, smaller, local yards.

For more detailed information, see Larry S. Chowning, Deadrise and Cross-Planked, Tidewater Publishers, 2007, on which this general discussion is partially based.

Boat Restoration Tips, Tricks, and Costs

August 29, 2021 by Martin Parker 6 Comments

Are you considering boat restoration as a cheap way to get on the water? While restoring a tired boat can save you money if you do most of the work yourself, there is a lot to consider and plan for if the costs are not to get out of hand.

Restoring a boat is a labor of love and something you are not likely to take on unless the boat concerned has some special meaning for you or you’re trying to save money. It is vital to understand that boats do not generally appreciate value unless they have some historical significance. Unlike car restoration, where collectors will pay big money for classic cars, the same is not true in the yachting world. 

Don’t let that put you off, though. Bringing a boat back to pristine condition is hugely satisfying and something to be proud of.

Step-By-Step Process of Boat Restoration

Do You Need a Survey Before Commiting to Boat Restoration? 

If you’ve recently purchased a boat, then you should have had a survey carried out already. If this is a boat you’ve owned for a while and intend to restore it, then a survey could be a good idea before you start. There are different types of surveys available, but the most common is the condition and value survey. The surveyor assesses the boat’s overall condition, reports any problems, and gives a market valuation. 

You may need specialized surveys for the engine and other systems, and you can find accredited surveyors on the NAMSGLobal website or the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors .

Clean the Boat Thoroughly 

While it may seem an odd suggestion, thoroughly cleaning the boat has a practical purpose. While cleaning your boat, you can spot any problems you may have missed previously. Cleaning also gives you a base standard to start from and will save you time in the long run. Unblock all the drainage holes, thoroughly clean the bilge, and lift any hull access points to clean and inspect.

List Broken Items 

Making a list of parts that need replacing or repairing is vital. Some areas of the boat will only be accessible during the restoration. Suddenly remembering a component that you needed to replace when the restoration is complete is not great! Completing this step enables you to plan the boat restoration in a logical order.

Check Any Through-Hull Fittings 

Any fitting that penetrates the hull can potentially flood the boat, so these must be checked and repaired. All through-hull fittings use specialized sealants where they mate with the hull. Don’t skimp in this area, as you will regret it when the first leak appears.

Check the Seacocks Are Working

Seacocks have two purposes. Some are there to let water in, for engine cooling, for example, while others let water out, such as cockpit drains. In either case, it’s vital to ensure they are working correctly. The seacocks for cockpit drains and sinks etc., are usually closed at sea as the rolling movement of the boat can let water enter the hull. A seacock seized open has caused many boats to flood and sink.

Check the Condition of the Hull 

What you are looking for will depend on the materials used to make the hull. A thorough inspection inside and out is required.

Fiberglass Hulls have a gel coat to protect the surface, but water may have penetrated the core if cracked and damaged. You can repair small areas of damage yourself, but extensive damage will need a professional eye. Pay particular attention to any fittings, such as cleats, stanchions, and chainplates, as cracking often occurs here. On older boats, the gel coat may have faded and stained. As long as the surface is good, you can restore it using a jetwash and readily available materials.

Wooden Hulls can suffer from rotten or dried-out wood if the protective coating is damaged. Repairing wooden hulls is a specialist skill that you shouldn’t attempt unless you are very confident. If the woodwork is sound, then resealing is a simple but time-consuming task.

The surveyor’s report should have highlighted all the damaged areas that he can see, but it depends on the type of survey you commissioned.

Check Load-Bearing Fixtures 

Load-bearing fixtures such as cleats and chainplates put immense stress on the deck. Behind every load-bearing fixture, there should be a backing plate to spread the load and prevent damage. Make sure the backing plates are in place and in good condition.

Inspect Every Halyard, Sheet, or Control Line

The materials used in making halyards and sheets are very resistant to the damage caused by saltwater and the sun. But over time, they do weaken. Inspect all the lines carefully for any wear or fraying, and replace where necessary. Any lines in good condition can be washed in a very light non-bio detergent but ensure you rinse with plenty of fresh water.

Inspect Your Sails 

Your sails work in a hostile environment, constantly exposed to UV light, saltwater, and extreme tension in heavy winds. Checking your sails during a restoration is a vital step to getting back on the water.

Check the following areas particularly:

Stitching: The sails stitching is the most common area affected by ultraviolet light from the sun. If you find anything, you should send the sail to a professional for repair.

Cringles: A cringle is stitched in to feed a sheet or line through at each attachment point. Check for damage to the metal or fraying of the stitching. Anything you spot here will most likely need professional attention from a sailmaker.

Sail Surface: Look out for fraying stitching, tears, and holes. Small holes can be repaired using repair tape or by sewing.

Sail Edges: Again, look out for fraying or loose stitching, but also signs of stretching.

Mold: Although mold won’t damage a sail, it looks unsightly, but luckily it is relatively easy to remove. Any sails that pass inspection should be thoroughly washed, dried, folded, and stored in a cool, dry location. Do not be tempted to put your sails away wet, as this encourages mold.

Engine: You can commission a separate survey for the engine, but if you have just lifted the boat out of the water to restore it, then a good service is probably the only thing required. For any boat that has been unused for a long time, it may be more economical to lift the engine out for a complete overhaul. Each situation will be different, and getting several quotes is a good idea.

If you decide to leave the engine in place, then at the very least do the following:

– Drain fuel tank

– Change engine oil

– Change gearbox oil

– Replace oil and air filters

Estimate the Cost of Boat Restoration

You’ve completed a complete survey of your boat, and it’s time to start the task of estimating the cost of the repairs. This is a critical stage and not one to rush. Finding the cost of replacement parts is relatively easy, so long as they are available. Older boats will be out of production, and the boatyard that built it may no longer be in business. A degree of improvisation and adapting similar parts may be required, which takes longer and costs more.

Many jobs may be labor-intensive, such as stripping back the Gelcoat or sanding down wooden decks. If you can do these jobs yourself, you’ll save a lot of dollars, but don’t exclude the cost of your time in the restoration cost. If you need to use skilled trades, then ask for quotes.

Once you’ve built a complete estimate of the cost of restoration, only you can decide if it’s feasible or not. If you hope to profit by selling the restored boat, this is a simple financial decision. A boat with some historical or sentimental value can make a choice more difficult.

Planning For Boat Restoration

Now you have a good idea of the costs involved, and you’ve decided to go ahead and embark on your boat restoration project. Congratulations! It’s probably going to be a long but worthwhile road ahead.

Take some time now to plan out the restoration in stages. You should complete some jobs before others, such as replacing damaged structural parts before relaying the deck. It’s also worth setting yourself some realistic deadlines to complete the stages. Not only is it something to aim for, but there is a sense of satisfaction as you complete stages. It sounds obvious, but it is easy to miss or forget something along the way if it’s not written down.

Boat Restoration Costs

Fresh new white sails recently restored after a thorough boat restoration project

Some people will say pick a number out of the air and then double it, and you’ll still be well under the final cost! There are so many factors to consider. If you are restoring a small boat, say 25 feet LOA, a conservative estimate might be $15,000 to $20,000. But as you discover more problems along the way, the final bill could be much higher. As the size of the boat increases, the cost increases exponentially.

The final cost will depend on how much needs doing and the quality of the work. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good inspection, cost estimate, and a well-thought-out plan.

As an example, you may buy a tired-looking 30-foot boat for $30,000. Add on around $25,000 for the restoration work carried out by skilled trades, plus $15,000 for your own time—a total cost of approximately $70,000. Compared to the price of a new 30-foot yacht of around $120,000, that’s quite a saving. On the flip side, the resale value of the restored boat may only be around $45,000. Having spent so much time, money, and effort on the restoration, you’re unlikely to sell any time soon.

Boat Restoration Tools  

Apart from some specialist tools for specific jobs, you will need a good set of basic hand and power tools. When you are buying tools, it is better to buy quality rather than quantity. The cheap grocery store tool kit with 100 items for 20 bucks will not stand the test of time.

The best advice I ever got was to buy the quality tool you need when you need it, rather than trying to build a complete tool kit from the beginning with cheap items.

Boat Restoration Materials

The list below gives you an idea of the materials you may need to buy based on a 30-foot yacht. There will be more. Make sure you add these items to your estimate of costs.

Rigging: An older boat that needs restoring will most likely need some of the rigging replaced. If you don’t like heights, this is a job for professionals. Expect a cost of around $1000 to $1500.

Metalwork: Replacing broken cleats, chainplates, etc. Replacing the chainplates could cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself or several thousand if you employ skilled trades.

Sails: Replacing any damaged sails and repairing where possible. For a new jib and mainsail, expect somewhere between $2,500 and $4,000

Halyards, Sheets, and Control Lines: Replace any that are past their useable life. Prices for rope can range between $2 to $10 per meter, depending on thickness and quality.

Engine: Replacing oils, fuel, and filters and renewing coolant hoses, fuel lines, and pump belts.

Batteries: Any yacht that has stood for a long time will probably need new batteries, but get them tested first.

Gelcoat Repair Kits and Polishing Tools, or Varnish for Wooden Hulls: Gelcoat can be bought in bulk if needed. Around $30 for a 1kg tin.

Winches and Blocks: After cleaning them with fresh water, check for smooth operation and service them. If you need to buy new winches, budget for at least $500 upwards for a self-tailing version.

Expert Help

Specialized expert help in the boating world is expensive. The more you can do yourself, the better, but include your labor cost in the final estimate. Qualified tradespeople may cost you more, but they will complete the job in a shorter time, getting you out of the yard and on to the water sooner. Experienced, skilled tradespeople can charge around $100 an hour for their services.

Boatyard Fees

Many people overlook the cost of storing your boat in the yard while the work is in progress. If you only work on your boat at weekends, it could be several years in the yard before you finish the restoration.

Continuing Costs

Owning a boat has continuing costs if you plan to maintain your restored yacht to the standard you’ve made it. We wrote an article covering the cost of boat ownership to help you know what to expect as a first-time boat owner.

Boat Restoration Tips and Tricks

When to Replace or Repair Yacht Components

A yacht operates in corrosive conditions of saltwater and sun, and particular items need regular checks and repairs. We’ve compiled a table below for the average lifespans of components, but many variables affect these estimates.

Component Expected Life Before Repair or Replacement

– Standing Rigging 10 years

– Sails 4,000 hours

– Halyards and Lines 5 to 10 years

– Engine (Diesel) 5,000 hours

– Mast Inspect and repair every five to six years depending on use

– Batteries 4 to 5 years

– Gelcoat 5 years

– Wooden deck stain Yearly

Do You Have the Skills for Boat Restoration?

Be very honest with yourself about your skills. Some jobs should be left to the professionals unless you are very confident. Electrics and the engine, for example, both require specialist skills.

Gelcoat Repairs

An older fiberglass boat will very likely have some Gelcoat damage, so how do you repair this? We have chosen three videos showing the standard method for gelcoat repairs.

The first Gelcoat repair video is from someone attempting it for the first time. Watching this video should help you to avoid some common mistakes. The repairer uses a patch paste kit that is available from most boatyards.

In this next video, we follow another Gelcoat repair, but this time mixing the Gelcoat by hand and repairing small cracks instead of a hole. 

The last video on Gelcoat repairs focuses on spider cracks that are so common in fiberglass boats. 

Buffing and Polishing the Hull of a Fiberglass Boat

You’ve repaired the Gelcoat and now need to bring back the lustrous shine that your boat had when it was new. Here are a couple of videos showing you how to buff and polish Gelcoat.

This method uses only polishing creams and buffing tools to restore the Gelcoat finish . An alternative approach is to start with 2000 grit sandpaper before using the buffing tools and rubbing compound to polish the Gelcoat . 

Finally, this time-lapse video shows a complete boat restoration from start to finish , completed in an incredible six weeks.

Do you Need Certifications for Any of the Work?

There are no requirements to have your electrical or mechanical work certified for privately-owned pleasure boats that don’t take paying customers. However, your insurer may insist that a qualified person approves any work you have completed. We would suggest that it’s in your interest to have the work checked before you first launch your restored boat.

If you intend to use your boat commercially, then a whole set of regulations will apply.

Sell Your Boat or Restore It?

As we previously mentioned, restoring a boat is not going to make you a profit. But you’ll finish up with a boat that was cheaper than buying brand new. The decision between selling the boat and restoring it will depend on numerous factors.

– Does the boat have any sentimental value to you?

– Do you have the time and money to complete the restoration?

– Will you lose interest partway through the restoration? Be honest with yourself!

Only by answering those questions can you decide whether to sell or restore your boat.

Avoid Expensive Brand Name Products

Boatyards will happily sell you branded products, but it is possible to use cheaper alternatives in some cases.

– Regularly wash your boat with fresh water to reduce the need for chemical products

– Use household products instead of chemicals where possible

– Use chemicals sparingly

– Vinegar is good for removing stains on cloth materials

General Cleaner: Use one cup of white vinegar in a gallon of water to scrub decks and surfaces, then rinse with fresh water.

Stain Remover: Mix baking soda and water to form a paste. Use it to remove fiberglass stains, then rinse.

Mildew Remover: A 1:1 mix of lemon juice and salt will remove mildew stains on cloth and canvas.

I found it helpful when you said that you would need to replace your boat’s chainplates for a few hundred dollars when restoring a boat. This is something that I will share with my father so he could be financially prepared in restoring his boat. He said yesterday morning that he is planning to shop for used boat parts that would meet his budget. Thanks for sharing this.

I am a marine artisan and restore boats on a daily basis. I enjoyed this article, it provides a fair representation of the “hidden” or seldom thought of expenses. For example storage fee’s. Sometimes people have a niave, over simple impression of how much work and time is involved. The author did an excellent job touching on so many issues.

Eastward HO 24

Eastward HO 24 is a 23 ′ 7 ″ / 7.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Walter McInnis and built by C. E. Ryder starting in 1975.

Drawing of Eastward HO 24

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally designed for wood contruction. The hulls of the later, FG version were built by CE Ryder (USA) and finished by Portsmouth Yacht Co. Diesel power was available as an option.
