What to say in videos which interest people to watch my video's


Over the past three or so years, We as a family have tried to document the restoration of Chance.

The restoration project as taken a long time as it as been done during the Covid 19 pandemic and the fact Chance was in a different part of the country to where we live, in Woodplumpton in Lancashire and we live in North East Essex, so the trips to Chance for the first two years of her restoration have been a long distance affair to say the least.

However, we were up to it and we did a lot of work removing much of the old furniture and the other items from inside Chance which were beyond saving, such as rusted fuel and water tanks, worn out stern gear, Seized engines which could not be restored without a lot of money being spend on them.

The inside of Chance was photographed a lot so to keep a record of how much of the interior was intact and what had been changed over the years and not always for the better and in some case caused major problem to the hull structure. this was found out when the starboard side from the cockpit to the transom was investigated and found to have been repaired at sometime in the past without refixing a number of structural fixing which would have kept Chance in the correct shape and not make her twist out of shape which is the case with the aft end of the starboard side and the transom which have completely gone out of shape. Some of it is down to parts going rotten and other to poorly repaired other items such as the Beam shelf which was not fixed back to the rest of the structural parts of the hull and deck.

So in future video I will go into detail what needs doing to sort out this major problem with Chance's transom and starboard side hull and deck.

Also , try to put the cover back over Chance until we can get a more permanent cover over her. We can trying raise funds through crowdfunding and other sources of funding which is available.
