Resurrecting a Steel Yacht
I bought an old steel yacht that hadn't been to sea for a few years, so it needed a bit of resurrection. It had a good Yanmar 3 cylinder motor and sail-drive which made it more attractive as a purchase, but the amateur fit-out below was functional, but not well designed for living aboard for any length of time. So I decided to completely remove the old layout and fully rebuild the interior. This video is a short view of the process. for a complete view of the process, have a look at my long form video covering this job, and the later re-rigging of the yacht as a ketch. We sailed Free Ascent in the Perth waters for many years then did a relaxed long cruise from Perth in Western Australia to Dover in Tasmania. My other Free Ascent longer videos cover this journey.
