    Hello there! For all the new Subscribers who are new to my channel, we have weekly Videos on the restoration of a Colvic Watson, but do not fear, I am very busy restoring the £1 Yacht in the background! So please stay tuned! You won’t be disappointed ❤⛵️⛵️⛵️

    I agree, she is a Vivacity 20. Very robust material of fibreglass as it was built to last. Main items are available, mast , hull railing, rudder, sails. I owned one for 16 years enjoyed it with my family as well as doing work on it. Enjoy.

    It must be apparent to people on the marina if a boat is getting near a stage of sinking so instead of waiting to it sinks with all the hassle of recovery they would get on board and pump it out and have a temp battery and bilge pump installed to then inform the owner and ask what they want to do with it , it would also make it a better proposition for restoration as well.

    • @BoatzUK
      @BoatzUK  Před 4 měsíci +4

      In the marina’s defence the boats where all checked before the storm as they always do, it’s a very good marina and they always send staff around to check even during the night when bad conditions are forecast, but this yacht was already very low in the water on the stern with to much weight so it actually didn’t look like anything was wrong until it was to late, it sank in around 10 mins due to all the extra weight and lots of holes drilled in the transom, also the owner was not in the country. Hope this info helps. But she is now in day 5 of the rebuild ⛵️⛵️⛵️

  • @howardcornwell9841
    @howardcornwell9841 Před 4 měsíci +12

    To be blunt I think its low to keep saying all the boat issues are firstly all done by one previous owner the boat probably had several owners and clearly the last owner had issues probably poor health or or and old age I've lived on boats for very nearly 30 years and I've always kept a tight ship, but my age and injurys poor health ect has lead my 8 year old boat to look 40 years old and I've seen it happen to others over the years shit and old age gets you in the end so I say be nice and just get on with fixing up your bargain have fun good luck 👍

    • @BoatzUK
      @BoatzUK  Před 4 měsíci +6

      I have to admit I was a little harsh but she had a young owner that abandoned her when she sank and walked away, leaving the marina with the cost of clear up. He bought her without a viewing and had it delivered to the marina and never came back. I am now in day 6 of the restoration in my new upload and already making headway, thank you for your comment ⛵️⛵️

You will have the satlsfaction of not only saving this boat but giiving it to a local sailing club which is very laudable and I am sure the club will be most appreciative. Fortunately not everything in life has to be done for profit!

    In Sweden you get boats for free in good condition. Last year ( as i am downsizing) due to age , i received a Maxi 68 , one owner since new. On the hard 11 years , in good condition , onboard engine, heater, toilet with blackwateryami..They payed 8.500 euros ( but in Swedish crowns ! The value of this today is more than 300.000 swedish crowns. This year i will sail here down to Barcelona where i live. My last bost here was 35 feet , Colvic Liberator , hated it. Now back on the size i had as young. Small boat ,small problems !

    • @BoatzUK
      @BoatzUK  Před 4 měsíci

      Hi there, Maxi 68 is a great boat especially with her being a one owner boat, that will be a great trip in the sun, and I agree with a smaller boat is a lot easier to manage, I still have a 38ft Aquastar motor boat that drinks lots of fuel, I have a video on the channel of my last trip with the children. Costly to keep on putting the fuel in. Thanks for joining us and we are currently in the process of restoring a Colvic Watson in our current weekly uploads, All the best from Cliff & Matt ⛵️⛵️⛵️

    You guys over there have a lot of really solid smaller boats to choose from! My dad found a twin keel that was built for the channel but made it to the states somehow and ended up with us in Annapolis. Solid as a rock and we could beach her upright. Wish we still had that, but I found an abandoned south coast 22 on the Monocacy river in Maryland about fifteen years ago that I have been playing with ever since.

    On the positive side, if the boat is holding that much water after sitting 12 months in a boat yard, that must mean the hull isn't leaking.

      IDK, free boats are never free, but my salvage has only required about US$4K to completely fit out with new outboard and all electronics and hull repairs included. Mine will never be worth more than I put into her, but she fits on a trailer so no slip fees and if I can break even one day after years of enjoyment, I will be happy.

    I'd love to know what the previous owner's intentions were with those davits.
    They obviously had enough money to keep the boat in a marina and buy quite a modern Tohatsu four stroke.
    You obviously know what you're doing and are aware of the costs involved. I've just bought a 25ft Hunter for £7,000. The previous owner has spent £7,000 on it in the last two years and it hasn't been out of the boat yard.
    I like boats like this Vivacity. I'll be interested to see how you make it seaworthy again.

    I've seen worse. In fact I've seen worse boats that didn't sink at the mooring. (Curious how that happened? Did it actually rain enough there to put enough fresh water in to sink it?) If it was wood it'd likely be past saving, but the hull is actually ok and even the interior seems reasonable given the circumstances. Like I said, seen worse in boats that didn't sink. A pound is probably what it's worth in that state. The 'davits' are a joke. Concerned you have some serious deck issues, possibly rotted balsa core or similar given the movement where the davit is. Might just be in the stern area hopefully, but that needs to come up and be replaced and you can check the interior structure there while it's up. As interior lights LED is fine, even as a cockpit light probably, though waterproofing would be an issue. Most of the work is basically elbow grease and some new fittings. That rusted ring bolt isn't that bad and would likely clean up very well if you soak it in Rust Dissolver/Naval Jelly or similar for a day or two. Pull the winches apart, rinse out the salt and grit and relubricate and they'll be fine. I'd suggest get the water out, pressure clean inside and out as a starting point. Get it under cover, even if it's just a tarp or something. See if you can get a soda blaster (grit is too harsh for fibreglass). Just washes off in water, use that for the outside hull, god knows how many coats of antifouling are under the barnacle layer. Bilge keels which is nice for shallow water and makes beaching a breeze. It will take time and work, but major expenses would be replacing the motor(s) and rigging, that rear deck in the stern and cockpit, painting etc. Presume mast and sails etc came with it? Did you get the motors too? They're probably salvageable despite their bath in seawater. I'd say she's closer to twenty feet than seventeen. No idea what make that is, not well up on small Europe built yachts. Good luck, be interested to see how she comes up. Do it right, should polish up pretty well and not a lot of expense really.
