Sound like the current work was more than the "respected lawyer" could or was willing to pay.
Still sounds like a lovely boat.

Couple of days to go and even with 42 bids the reserve price has not been met. It seems that this will be one of those instances where the sellers expectations (based on what it cost and how much has been spent) are more than what someone will pay for the boat. Even with some nice history.
Valuing a boat that needs a lot of work to get back into sailing condition is kind of hard.
I reckon he should accept what he has been offered.
