I had a long chat with John Hoenig, at the yard
that is listing her. According to him, the
repairs done after the initial damage were not
enough and over time it just got worse. That
said, he was confident that he could hand the
repairs. He also told me that the hull was balsa
cored...so my comfort level in his competence is
a little soft. The fiberglass/kevlar hull is
definitely not cored balsa and, may be
significantly more difficult to repair.
He felt that without a significant profit
potential, the boat will never sell. His opinion
is that if the O wants to sell, the price should
be around 20K. I'm not sure you could part it
out and recover that much and I agree that
considering the type and extent of the damage
parting it out is the only realistic out...
Still sad to see one of the limited number of 36+/40's go to the scrap heap.

That?s Beau Geste, a hurricane ?rescue?
boat. She was sunk, then quickly reflected and
cleaned out. The owner is a real d!@k? he was
on my dock for several years in Bayfield, WI.
If it goes below $30k, I?ll take a look? ?
