It will definitely need hauling out, sanding and painting- which given the size and weight is going to be something only a few yards can do.
The cost to get that all done by others is around SG$10,000, which is none trivial, but I can potter about with the other maintenance as it won’t need to get the boat up in the air.
The acknowledged fault list is currently:
- fuel tank breather buggered
Sadly I am not sufficiently an optimist that I would think that that will be the actual list once I get a decent look at the boat.
It’s one of three 51 foot ketches built by Kan Walker in his boat yard (the eponymous Walker Boats) in Geelong, ‘stralia.
Designed for the southern oceans, so the rather anemic winds we usually have here might struggle a little to get the boat up on its toes.

As your brilliant analytical brain has deduced, some maintenance might be necessary, after the initial complete overhaul. There is no such thing as a free boat, new bin and cordite time!
