Hi my name is Greg my good friend James has fallen on hard times he recently bought this boat to enjoy the rest of his life and to have somewhere to live james is battling with cancer with chemotherapy and treatments he has been delt a rather hard time so after selling his car and caravan and pouring everything he has in the boat he replaced the engine gearbox all the wireing though out the yacht they were traveling down to Byron bay when they ran a ground I would like to help him out as much as I can a little about the yacht Victoria so Sailing vessel Viktoria 1983 Lord Nelson 41 in brackets Hans Christian and then her story she was ordered from the shipyards in Taiwan for a reporter that worked with the New York Times whose wife’s name was Victoria she was taken to New York State and the reporter around his wife divorced the yacht was sold to a pilot. He intern sold the yacht to Stephen the fellow I bought it off. Stephen had sailed her 2 1/2 times around the globe having come into Southport for some repairs. 12 years ago. The heat exchanger was never repaired and without Andi failing and being taken out of the water she slowly started to corrode and die and she was dying over the wiring. Her engine. Everything had to be redone rewired new pumps new hot water services new C cop replaced a survey was done and she was on her last breath and we revived her and got a backseat were the only to have her run around blood sweat and tears literally bleeding getting engines out and putting her up on the hard and working her osmosis doing the hull

Now having had a rat see with realised that the mask needs new tracking for the sale tracks for sales new new sale saves a new sales. Perhaps the Navionics have had water and would need replacing. The autopilot will need replacing pumps will need to be replaced. seals will need to be replaced the hole where it’s been damage will need to be repaired. The salvage costs will be substantial structural damage to the timbers inside will be need to be repaired in Viktoria as a grand old lady of the sea she’s one of only 50 yachts of her type made in the world and it would be so good for her past owner to see her back in the water before he passes
