This has to be the worst condition C25 I've come across. I actually can't believe it's floating.

if it was nearer to me id trailer it back, strip it and cut it up. unfortunately i cant even get scrap from the keel as it is missing as is the rudder. hes only got a few inches of water in there. it will take some more to get the cable tube below water before she actually sinks.

If the mast is too tall, it still fits in the tabernacle, and the standing rigging seems to fit correctly. (?) Somebody might be able to make something out of parting her out, until it comes time to dispose of the hull. At least the keel apparently isn't an issue... But the "who pays whom" part of the transaction might be open to negotiation.

I think he means it is a tall rig and thus taller than a standard rig.

If I don't hurry up and get down to my boat it's going to start looking like this one. :(

Going this weekend hopefully!

Those are the boats that you want to be parked next to in a Marina. Your's will always look great.

It'd be nice if that guy found a motor, did some maintenance and cleaning, and stowed his crap, but he is living a dream. It could be my dream. I'm not judging - maybe he'd be in a homeless shelter otherwise - so this might be an awesome alternative.

I finally got down to the boat late yesterday and spent the night. Glad to report mine does NOT look like the one above.

The first time I looked at these pictures I didn't catch that this boat had a couple of hundred gallons in it! Why would anyone not at least take 2 seconds and pull the hatch closed?

When I "got" Limerick in 2006 it looked even worse. The good news was the fin keel was attached and mast was correct. It was a father son (and more than a few professionals) project to bring her back to life, which we did. As said, the fiberglass will clean up just fine. The real question is mast step, bulkheads, etc. All that said, there are a lot of our boats in turn-key, or close to, condition for short money so I would pass on this . . . . unless someone wants quality time with their son (or daughter) . . ..

The part that worries me is the wooden core and the bulkheads, posts and such in the cabin, the galley and especially in the bilge. If these rot out then the mast tabernacle is in jeopardy, the chain plates have no support and the keel attachment could be compromised. Maybe fiberglass will never die, but the wooden core and support structures will most certainly melt into compost.
