You can rebuild anything, but the question is what you're prepared/capable of putting into the project. Good on you guys for giving it a go, even in light of some pretty huge work ahead of you, but don't forget that if down the track you decide that the project isn't for you, then there's no shame at all in deciding that your time with Oslo Saga has run its course. I hope that time never comes, but if it does, then so be it.
WOW, going to be a journey that's for sure. Is there any chance of getting the plans for Oslo? who built her? I personally would be keen to see the plans, wicked wicked wee boat!! best regards from up North :) we are down your way next year, we would love to get to have a look at Oslo. Have a look at Samson Boat Co, boat name is "Tally HO" Leo has just finished a full rebuild of Tally HO ..

That is going to take two years minimum working 2h each on it every day, multiply that with NZ wage + the material cost. Finding another vessel and doing a proper inspection before buying will save 1.5 years of your life. Just replace one plank and measure the effort you put in, then multiply with plank count. A diagonal framed hull pretty much needs new planking all the way if the frames are not rotten. If you want experience, build a dinghy from scratch. Being punk doesn't mean being dumb. Please don't.
Build a new one in modern materials that cannot be eaten by microbes. She's a Colin Archer type, so ideal for the South Island and Southern Ocean which is what you're up against. Cost and reward. Oh dear. You might not have the time or money to complete this.

Go for it, greet from Holland.
Looks like an adventure
Sounds like youd regret not giving it a shot
