Triomphe

[Robert Thuss]

Moving to a new thread....

That boat needs everything. It would be a blank canvas for somebody to pick up at the right price and give to a boatyard with a budget (note that no boatyard owners have picked it up). Seems like it could take at least $150k and many months, and you would have a newly rebuilt boat at about $250k.

SWAG:

Sails $30k

Electronics $30k

Cosmetics $25k

Rigging $15k

Systems $15k

Engine $10k

Gear $10k

Contingency $15k

Interesting debate as to how much you think that would take.

Is it feasible and is it worth the time and effort?

Speaking of which, what's the story with TRIOMPHE, the J/42 that's been for sale in Connecticut for months at a very attractive price? At $110,000, I would figure she'd go quickly.

I've seen that boat listed for I want to say 5 years now.

I think you need to ask what major things are in need of attention.

I think more detail of systems is needed for example a budget of 10k may not scratch the surface.

Can't say I did't actually looked at it this past weekend (scrolling yacht world as I do every weekend) and didn't think about it as well.

I also think the budget needs a new keel and rudder to get rid of the Shoal draft.

The driver for budget / return is what can you or want to do yourself.

OK, that answers my question. Too bad the previous owner didn't take better care of it. Any word on water intrusion into the core? That would be a real deal killer.

I looked at that boat as well.  It's a project for sure, for the right buyer.   

I was really impressed with the broker, Randy Artemis, Brewer Yacht Sales, Stamford, Ct ( former JBoat dealer decades ago)  who seemed very forthcoming and extremely knowledgeable about what the boat needed given his JBoat experience.  I don't recall what he said about core intrusion.   A phone call into Randy would be helpful for anyone interested.
