Solo Repairs

I can't imagine, though, that it will be remotely cost effective to buy the boat from your mate and get it professionally repaired compared to buying a boat from someone else that doesn't need the work done. Good professional work is, rightly, fairly expensive, especially compared to the cost of older secondhand boats.

Of course if you have your own garage and fancy doing it yourself that would be quite another matter. Sounds like a reasonably candidate for that, although the one word of warning is that there's always about twice as much work to do than you expact at first sight when it comes to neglected wood boats.

Jo Line (The Boat Repair Centre) is just south of Bristol, also Severn sailboats in Worcester build and service solos.
