Sea Symphony

Donation protected

I bought Sea a symphony in January 2020 she had been left ashore for 3 years and was in need of attention. I spent a year rebuilding her and launched in Grenada where she was situated. I have now sailed her single handed from Grenada to Ireland single handed in 52 days none stop; where I was towed in by the RNLI as the engine had failed and 5 of the 6 sails on board had suffered damages some extreme and were beyond repair. The sails have now all been repaired or replaced, the engine is now working but needs the timing adjusted. I am was doing Airbnb on the boat in Kinsale which helped pay the mooring fees and has helped with some of the work that needed doing. Sadly I was stopped doing more fire to the actions of another boat owner whose antics resulted in a ban on all Airbnb letting.  I have now rebuilt the chart table which had been hanging together by a thread as termites had eaten the support structure. I have  fixed the bowsprit bracket but the bowsprit itself still needs some work. Most of the lockers now have insultation at the back of them which reduces the condensation. Currently there is only a couple of fan heaters on board for heating which works but is expensive to run so I only use them when I have guests I would love to put a diesel heater on board but that will have wait. The gearbox despite having clean oil and seeming to be ok has seized turned out the internals had rusted badly. I was towed to a marina at great expense as they told me they could fix it but once the boat was lifted out they told me they wouldn’t fix it but would only take it out and put it back, I have taken the gearbox to a specialist in England who opened it up and gave me the bad news. I am looking at my options none of which are cheap To  my mind she is a work of art and I am privileged to work on renovating and sailing her. I need help to get her back to her full glory.  Anyone donating always welcome aboard. Help of any kind appreciated, thanking you in advance Pete Currier
