As I said I don't like pouring cold water and would be happy to see the project go ahead.
How will a large boat with limited capacity for crew be able to wash its face financially in the long run? It is all very laudable and has lot of romanticism in the idea. My main concern is the long term finance, it would be awful to see her again in a few years back in the same state, unloved and unkempt.
As said by another she was built for one trip and even then was heavily criticised by her owner on that trip.
Why not design, build and sail another boat with the same aims that would be more suitable for the task and call her 'Sir Francis Chichester'
