If you go through earlier posts on this site you will find a lot of emotion over the best way to deal with this problem.

My own view was that it was a hell of a lot of money, but the boat is inspirational, float it round the world and people will see it in the flesh, as a live object, just to let it rot in concrete somewhere is a sad and awful end.

In this day and age we can pass film of the new voyages round to the maritime museums, not just Gypsy Moth, but all those boats that inspired us all at different times over the last 50 years or so!
