1. It needs to be recycled. This boat is worthless.
   It would be less expensive to build a boat from scratch. Stay away from this rotting carcass.
   If he says it would cost $50k, double that amount. Unless you're a skilled carpenter, you will need to hire professionals to replace rotten hull planks and that costs a ton.
   For $100k you can buy a fairly new boat ready to go, not this 85 years old dumpster.

2. I'm almost lost for words. If I didn't have my own major refit right now I'd 😮 throw my hat in the ring and yes he's right fitter with a Schooner rig . You stay on top of this as I'm looking forward to seeing progress and back on the water. A true Gem.

   Port Townsend seems to have the knowledge for these boats

4. I’m related distantly to Alden Yachts. My grandfather Robert Alden was in Navy and gave me my love of boat and woodworking. I would restore just for family reasons

5. The boat looks pretty good, but appearance and structural integrity are very different things. I would like to have heard a listing of what the fellow you were talking with thinks she needs. I would really want to have a look at the floors and all the frames and it would have been nice to see a bit of the topsides, not to mention sounding the entire hull. A person who understands wooden boat construction methods and has basic wood working skills can bring that boat back for a lot less than $50K. I know because I saved a 1936 33' woody that was in far worse condition. Fortunately I sold that boat in the spring of '22 after working on it for 15 years.

   The biggest negative of that boat is that if you bring it back to bristol condition, it won't be worth much at all unless someone falls in love with the boat. So don' take it on unless you love the boat and want a long term project. My 1936 boat took about 200 hours of labor a year to keep it sound and looking good after I invested about 2,500 hours in the initial repairs.

6. I am liking this channel. My forecast is strong growth.

7. Nice looking boat, very Leary of iron ballast

8. It's a beautiful statement if you can make dreams come true I would sail the world in that boat ! Cheers

9. Another great episode … really nice example of a wooden sloop. Although it's not personally my cup of tea, I'm sure that there are plenty out there who just fell in love. I do think that it's a big mistake for your friend Captain Parker to be dictating terms for the sale … the whole point of a sale is transfer of ownership. If he wants to influence the outcome of the future of the boat, he should put his money where his mouth is and buy it himself. I know that if I had an interest in buying this boat, the thought that some third party was going to have any say in the final disposition of the sale would more than likely end my interest in purchasing the boat. I hope that someone buys it for the sake of saving a piece of history, but to be honest, the thought of someone questioning my resolve or abilities and wanting to dictate the how I go about a restoration would be enough to make me walk away from this one.

10. That’s not a yacht – it is a life changing love affair. She will need a captain who is as stong in mind and body as she will rightfully demand attention, resting in a safe harbor and , especially dancing at sea.

    And of course just a wonderful show …

    Aaaaarrrrggghhhh

11. When it comes to a wooden boat left out of the water for years, so much was simply left unsaid. Obviously this boat would probably sink if it were to be launched. How many days would it have to sit in the slings before a high capacity pump could be used to keep it from sinking. This boat would have to be watched 24/7 for who knows how long, and even then you might have to haul it back out and repair some planks and seams. Galvanized standing rigging? Did I hear that correctly. Never did you mention dry rot, I am sure there is some on that boat, probably in the spars. For a boat that could be in the water in a couple of weeks $50K to get her stable and right seem kinda high.. For a knowledgable shipwright to say he would take $5K for something that needs $50K more investment says it is already too far gone. This might be a project for someone, but saving a relic is not for everybody, and the former owner just gave up. that says a lot right there.

12. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to help find this beautiful handcrafted work of art a new home 🙏

13. She's well worth saving, and in far to good of shape to be salvaged. That boat isn't far off from being ready for the next 50 years.

14. My heart and soul would love to give her a new home and bless her into a new journey… would make a fantastic story as I work for a non profit farm supporting neglected babies in African communities… just a dream. Blessings Tyrone

15. What a boat absolute perfect chance to rebuild a beautiful boat what a treasure

16. I surveyed three boats in far worse condition, between travel and expenses I spent about 8K. Walked away from all three. Now I'm finishing up Chemotherapy, should be on the mend by Christmas. If I'm still alive in February 24…

17. Alden design 636E, built at James Graves yard, Marblehead in 1937 for Franklin King, Boston MA. 39-4 LOA, 28-1 LWL, 10-5 beam, 5-3 draft and 18800 lbs displ. Original name was Nimbus. Lead boat of the class was Stormy Petrel, one of 7 per the Alden database. HTH.

18. Run.

19. This is an excellent light project for someone with the skill set. She will take a bit for the seems to tighten up as they all do when they've been out of the water this long. I'm a retired 74 year old boat repair/restorer/buider with a lot of years in this business.
    I will be in Scarborough Maine for Thanksgiving. Hmmm I wonder!!!!!

20. Amazing boat, hope it finds a good home.

21. Thats a nice classic boat in quite good shape for her age. A good carpenter gets that back in the waves easily.

22. Hi Neil. We are interested in taking this project on. Please can you forward contact details so that we can chat and see if this would be a good fit for all.
    Kind regards
    Ian

23. Always thought no boat is going to out pretty an Alden. Already have a same size 50yrOld S&S, other wise would be quite interested.

24. My little boat( Catalina 22) turned 50 this year so glad i started small and did not buy a project, or a dock queen.. She was lightly used jn great shape with many extras, and ready to sail after decent cleaning. I bought a new motor, which she didn't have, thats about it. All single-hand, lots of overnights, my hero offshore singlehanders all have small boats.
    Shes a beautiful boat, thanks and good luck, make sure she gets a good match! : )
