Yes it does depend what you think is worth restoring. John's Merlin 36 was in a bad state but then it was Ian proctor's forst merlin (before he stated designing his own.
See, for details. http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/gallery/d ... tion_of_36
Materials cost over 600 and that doesn't include bouyancy bags rigging and ropes. A set of new sails is going to cost 700-800 too.
I don't even Dell Trotter would think retoring boats like this would be a nice little earner!
