• @Leanyfreakkid I am one of the naysayers (my last yacht near enough bankrupted me) but anyway. When you get that engine running please remember it is only running as long as it wants to, not as long as you want it to. Never rely on any engine at sea. You must have a Plan B. So, are the sails ready to be rigged? Can you sail yourself out of trouble if you have to?

    Also judging by the video you have a lot of weed on the hull. That will rob you of 40% of your sailing performance and might even foul the propellor. Taking the boat out of the water and anti-fouling is the only good way of fixing that but at a pinch you might find a scrubbing post (ie you tie up securely to some kind of a jetty at high water, then scrub off the weed at low water when the keel has touched down).

    Good luck!

    And just in case you don't have good luck be certain you are insured ...
