[messias]

Please post some pics of your work so far!

I'll make an album with all pics I have of the thing tomorrow. Most pictures I take are of certain details though, because I don't know how the hell to fix them and need advice from the online community

Please do!
As for the advice, I´m positive that the folks here will be supporting you! I will (if I can)

Another steel classic of an era lone gone but not forgotten;

This time an whole article in the Dutch online magazine "Zilt" about a young couple going on a world tour on a Jan Haring 9.60;

Voorpagina

The article starts on page 8-9 in Zilt number 94,it is free!
There is also a blog of the previous owner of the boat mentioned in this aricle,you can find it here;
De wereld om met een Jan Haring

So now I'll leave you to it,you have lots to translate!

[messias]

Thanks!!!

[Orchidius]

There's your alternative, buy one that has had its refit! I seriously doubt you'll have enough budget then though...

[Orchidius]

Had some issues getting some pics from my phone, sorry for the delay!

I have seen two or three of them. They look heavy tubs - good if you are planning on hitting a lot of rocks. In open waters a lighter, better sailing boat may be another choice.

I like their looks though. Perhaps the alloy ones mentioned above are lighter?

As I mentioned above, they just don't make them anymore, these old designs . Their weight is a big factor in their stability and seaworthiness, I don't have the faintest clue as to how they would cope being lighter...

[messias]

Wow... that´s a good looking boat and some serious work going on!
I hope I can post some pictures like that in a near future...

Thanks for sharing

Where in the world did you find one of those.? I'd snap that up right away if it was reasonably priced and in decent condition.

[Orchidius]

It was 6k, had just had an engine rebuild and a hull ultrasound. Lots of aesthetical issues, but nothing structural.

I'll sell it to ya when I'm done with it

As I said, there's gems to be found in Holland and many other places as well. Certainly these boats, as they're a niche market and only appeal to a certain audience. They're absolutely horrible for weekend cruisers unless you're planning on turning them into showboats.

Like I mentioned: really slow when under 10m because of their inability to fly enough cloth for their weight and a really narrow beam making for a cramped interior. I've seen them as long as mine with barely enough room inside for a single bunk. Not the roomy, comfy interior your average boater is looking for .

I'll have you note those 29ft were designed to sleep 6 (the last two drawing the short straws), to provide more crew on the long distance races.

You gotta love the Dutch!
