A Simple Plan?
- Buy a devon yawl for as cheap as posible (the only requirement is a sound hull and usable road trailer)
- Tow boat to West Midlands and place in family garage
- Renovate hull
- Re-rig to own specification
- Buy decent set of sails
- Tow to Topsham in Devon (my home)
- Sail and race with family by Summer 2012
Simple........... lets find how simple?
