What this video covers

Andy of BoatworksToday acquired a 1970 Westwind Paceship, a 24-to-25-foot trailerable sailboat, to serve as a primary winter restoration project.▶ 0:42 Despite the trailer’s visibly bent and twisted frame, the vessel towed well over a short distance with hub temperatures remaining below 93 degrees.▶ 2:48 The boat includes a vintage Johnson outboard engine, which has not run in over 20 years, and a set of sails stored in bags.▶ 9:25 To accommodate both the new sailboat and an existing Bertram project in the shop, Andy cleared out storage benches and equipment to fit both vessels side-by-side with only inches of clearance.▶ 11:53 The winter work schedule will prioritise the Paceship for weekly updates, while the more complex Bertram project will receive monthly, consolidated progress reports.▶ 5:39 The immediate next steps involve securing the shop and preparing the outboard for potential maintenance after a scheduled trip to Annapolis.
