Replying to: timber 125 in need of repair sail nbr 564 My father built our 125 in the late 1970's and unfortunately for the last 20 years or so it's been sitting unused and has become a little bit unloved. The last time it received attention was probably a little over 20 years ago when I put a sheet of fibreglass over the hull and re did the seams / joins inside the boat with fibreglass tape etc. It now needs a large amount of timber cut out and replaced but to be honest I'm not sure where to start. Would love to speak to anyone who has done this type of restore and could offer any advice. I'm sure it would probably be easier to simply buy or build a new hull, however, it obviously has sentimental value to. Any suggestions / guidance would be greatly appreciated. Will try and upload some pictures if anyone thinks it might help. Located in the Ballarat area but boat is currently in Sunbury.
