Its not in OZ, but my jaw hit the ground when I saw this.
I just found this on the net - I don't know who these people are.
It is noteworthy because of the astounding number of really good classic boats in one place including some real rarities.
There is a refreshing honesty in their spiel - sounds like the boat will go to someone set up to do something about such large scale repairs.
Varnished lapstrake cedar planking on white oak frames. Vessel comes with Sitka spruce spars, old sails and rudder. (centreboard is missing) She requires complete restoration and refinishing as follows:
Replacement of every steam-bent rib in the vessel along with the keel, transom, approx. 6 planks, decks, coamings and floorboards. Misc. repairs are required throughout. She will need to be completely stripped to bare wood and properly re-varnished.As is $750.00 Cdn.

It is Canada - I guess a large population and cold winters and maybe lots of sheds have some advantages in boats of this era still existing at all.
