With much regret, it is time for Sea spirit to move on
to a new owner.
The last plan was to convert her to a houseboat with a
mooring in London, which would have allowed a healthy return. This also meant
she still had the option to go back to a blue water sailing yacht when
required.
Sea Spirit has under gone a major rebuild of the hull
and deck and without doubt that she is stronger and safer than she ever
was.
List of renovation work that’s been completed to date.
New 5 mm steel deck
All of the underwater
parts of the hull have been replaced in 6 mm steel.
Multiple frames
replaced.
Concrete bilge cover
removed and covered in new steel sheet (will never fail)
Prop shaft lowered including
new engine beds to increase cabin space.
New portholes to
include new brass portholes
New floor frames
New fuel tanks
New steel bulkheads
including water tight doors.
New front dog house
with grand spiral staircase leading to front accommodation.
New rear wheel house

New rudder
All new gunwales as
original bent.
New deck lights.
New windows frames for
Dog house and Wheel House
The
boat has been thoroughly prepared and painted inside with specialist paints.
She
does have original masts and rigging but the engine was underpowered so she
will need a new unit.
Certified
MCA approved contractors have professionally done all work The hard, dirty, and
expensive parts of the project have now been completed.
With
increased work commitments it has become very difficult to find the time to
manage and complete this project.

first 2 photos show her original condition and the rest as she is now.
