| A65 | 2020 | Wettern, Laurence | Bridport | Restoring | Laurence buys Joann, upgrades the trailer and takes her to Dorset. Hull and deck, which have been sheathed are in very good condition, with just a patch of glass lifting on the bow waterline. However, the rubbing strakes are rotten and the toe rails cracked in places. The engine has surface rust but appears basically sound. There is a lot of plumbing to sort out - twin fuel tanks plus header, twin water tanks, twin gas tanks all with switch over valves! The hydraulics on the electric keels appeared well cared for prior to lay up. The rudder is okay but the stock is corroded. A65 also has a torsion bar steering linkage in the aft cabin, replacing all the rudder wires. | ||||
