Welcome to Reviving The Enchantress: Episode 1!
I just purchased a 41ft Ketch sailboat that was going to the scrap yard. I decided this sailboat was far too beautiful not to be restored. I love getting my hands dirty and doing DIY projects, but when I saw the amount of work that this Ketch boat needs, I started to wonder if I'm a little bit crazy.
The Enchantress is a 1973 Formosa 41 designed by William Garden and built by the Ta Chiao Brothers Boat Building company. It's fair to say that she has definitely enchanted me, and I want to bring her back onto the water with some simple restorations, plus add some modern items to make this a very live-able and enjoyable sailboat!
So if you love sailing, restoring old boats, or just want to learn about how to repair an old fiberglass boat, stick around and follow my adventures as I attempt to restore a sailboat for the first time.
