Thanks for the kind words Rob!
I wonder if 30 years from now, some kid will buy a old, run down Benny or Hunter and try to refurbish it. I imagine the same techniques we use will still be in fashion... hand lay our fiberglass repairs, a few sheets of plywood to make a new interior layout, etc...
Its possible to do it, but I just can't imagine a moldy, rotten Benateau generating in someone the passion that these old boats do with their lines. We look at a decrepit Alberg and say "a little paint and new sails and she'll be alright". You want to take it home with you like a lost puppy and care for it.
A moldy old Hunter, I'd just as soon put out of its misery.
