Congratulations Clive and Jenny. You've done a wonderful job of restoring your sweet little boat. Hope you have many happy times on her. Thanks for an excellent video too.

It is best to always bag fenders. When the vinyl gets hot, atmospheric micro-dust and dirt attach to it, scratching the paint and glass. Bagging mitigates the damage.

@dviate3242

Great work to give them a sweet looking boat, well done.

Fantastic 🎉

Very nice tour of this boat!

@olivei2484

Nice job, looks sharp. Really liked the curved bulkhead.

@philiporourke7896

Great vid, fun to watch old boats being restored. Thanx.

@chuckscheaffer3952

Great video, great story. I've been considering a similar path once I sell my 35ft keelboat. Learned a lot from the story. Thx

Thanks paul nice clip always happy to see a bost brought back to proper form i do truly believe they have souls

@Helliconia54

what a beautiful resto on that boat. My hat off to him. I sail a TS16 and yer my wife and i sleep separately. Inland cruising is great. We sail the Gippsland Lakes, out of Paynesville,vic.

@hrmacdonald4471

Great video & loved what they did to their boat...it looks shipshape and Bristol fashion...well done!

@AusMarineRobotics

Beautiful restoration! My completely unrenovated 18' Tropic 520 (also early 1980s) has an arched mast support and my Cal14 (Hood) seems to have some gravity defying engineering integrated within the deck that requires neither post nor arch!

Wonderful !! Well done !!

@phillipobrien7365

Another great vid Paul. I hope to meet them on a raid one day and check out the centering rails on their trailer, as my boat occasionally runs off center when loading back on.

@scottastell9415

He did a good restoration. Reminds me of the CAL 14 of early 1980s but stretched. Love my SCAMP (wooden 12 footer) and must get on a lake soon Paul.

I'm envious! If I didn't live so far from navigable water ways, the Investigator would be my first choice for a trailer sailor. They have an excellent reputation for both comfort and safety.

@kenjones3736

What a nice job he has done. Looks a bit like my Monarch 17 i owned some time ago. Keep up the good work putting out these vidios.

@jamessandman3708

That is a fantastic restoration of a beautiful boat and a great review indeed! Thank You Paul for sharing and also to Clive and Jenny! As always, safe sailing and cheers mate!!..
