Yachting and Boating World forums: The End

By restoring Gipsy Moth IV and attempting to sailing her around the world again is a big risk, experienced skippers lose yachts and ships never to be seen again, I believe there is some luck involved and by taking this challenge is putting the boat at this risk. Most famous yachts in Australia are maintained my marine tine museums which they maintain and preserve these pieces of history in floating docks or undercover on the hard. This is my opinion and all welcome to comment. My opinion would be to spend the money restoring her and then maintain her to high standards in a museum where she will be safe and not lost to the cruel oceans forever. I enjoyed visiting Gipsy Moth IV while visiting UK while on holidays from Australia some 20 yrs ago those imageries are still planted in my head. these images should be aloud for others to experience so if she was lost we would only have photos and books to remember this marvelous piece of history.
