Dave,
do you intend laying her up around the Crouch/Southend area? If so, I could let you have a couple of numbers of helpful people to find a home. Got to bear in mind that a lot of people start these things round here, and then the yard is left with trying to dispose of the fall out when they lose heart, so I can see the upfront money, but I am not sure about 10 grand.

Dave, are you totally mad?
I hope so, because this is a tremendous project and I am really looking forward to watching the progress.

Have you thought you may be better off buying an acre somewhere adjacent to a creek? Doesn't have to be deep water for a Thames barge - just enough to float her at springs. I'll bet you're also going to need a couple of old shipping containers on site. Just done a few mental calcs and ten grand could get you an acre of agric. and a purpose built slip; there's the planning issue, of course, but I'll bet if the place is reasonably isolated you could get away with it for a few years ... or even claim 'Persevere' as an agricultural building. Flog the land to pay for the final fit-out.

What is the fastest time you could repair below the waterline? I had always discounted using a commercial yard due to cost until I saw a privately owned fishing boat up on Eel Pie Slipways last week. He seemingly comes up every 2 years. It's expensive whatever way you look at it but you have more options once the bottom is done.
