SALVAGE SAILBOAT - Getting our Project Boat to a DIY Marina! | Expedition Evans 4

Turns out the marina that is storing our salvaged sailboat is very nice and comfortable- problem is they don’t allow DIY repairs and don’t love that we had 2 dogs. So after last week’s drama of getting our slightly leaking sailboat launched – it’s time to find somewhere new. We leave the protection of the marina and sea-walled bay and head to a more hospitable yard! This is our first time handling this large of a boat (Beneteau 49) and now we’re in the open ocean (although never far from shore)!

We can’t wait to get started on the biggest project we’ve ever been a part of.

Thanks for watching-

With love
The Evans’

*Our Boat*
2008 Beneteau 49
3 cabin 2 head
4JH4-TE
Westerbeke generator
Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage
Here’s what we *think* we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground – hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See https://youtu.be/JJ3MruoO2q4 for how we came to own her!
