Cosa tratta questo video

Spice Island Marine in Prickly Bay, Grenada, serves as the backdrop for an assessment of two abandoned, high-end sailboats: a Bowman 57 and a Passport 47.2:19 The Bowman 57, formerly named *Fortuna of Leith*, suffered hurricane damage in 2004 and is currently being dismantled for its lead ballast.4:52 The Passport 47, a Robert Perry design with an encapsulated keel, remains in the yard with significant water intrusion, requiring a full interior gutting, deck core replacement, and engine replacement.7:57 A rough cost-benefit analysis for a full refit of the Passport 47 estimates a three-year timeline and approximately $147,000 in expenses, including yard fees.15:37 Moisture meters are used to evaluate hull integrity, though standing water inside the vessel complicates readings.8:33 The assessment concludes that while these classic fiberglass hulls are structurally sound, the labor and financial commitment required for a complete restoration often exceed the market value of the finished boat.
