    Default Free timber yacht

    25 foot Huon Pine Yacht
    this is in serious need of restoration. Tuvalu was built in the late 60's in Tasmania
    she is an ocean going vessel but is in need of virtually a complete rebuild from the keel up. The planking seems OK as does the frames but floor timbers need replacing, new decks and cabin trunks. Has most of the hardware, mast bowsprit etc., but no boom sails or interior
    It would only suit someone with a lot of time and considerable boatbuilding skills.
    it would need a crane and boat transport to remove from my house.

    if you feel that you would like to save this
    from becoming firewood let me know.
    cheers
    Pete
