It is important that the owner finds someone who would appreciate the opportunity to own a classic British Columbia ship and has the ability to repair and maintain her. The owner is willing to offer it free, to someone who can provide regular maintenance and a place to anchor or moor.
BC Maid requires some attention to a few areas that need repairs including: caulking, bottom paint and possibly refastening a few planks. The main part of the hull has not been finished so you can examine the hull from the inside. It requires some upgrading of the electrical system or more precisely, improvement to the current wiring such as new circuit blocks (inexpensive and easy to install and/or replace) and connection panels The current owner is prepared to offer this ship to the right person who sees an incredible opportunity to explore our coast, enjoy the live aboard lifestyle either at a marina, private dock or off grid anchored in a quiet bay.
