Ocean Pirate Part 4 Works are starting

In this video, it's a new location and work begins on the restoration of Ocean Pirate but slowly as there are still a few obstacles to get over, main being water in the bilges and hidden items under the floor, a chain locker with a window?
A chain locker with a window? Tims scratching his head “Why would anyone need a view into the chains?”

Drill a hole to make a self draining anchor locker, most modern boats are like that!! Just a sugestion!!

I think you might have a famous yacht there. If you search for images of a Brooke Marine Ocean Pirate you will see a few of one competing in offshore races bearing the number 323. The pictures of that boat clearly show the access hatch you have which I don’t think would be a standard feature on production boats. I’d weld up that deck hatch and instal a watertight hatch in the bulkhead, keeping the space as a chain locker and retaining the crash bulkhead.

Thank you
I had the information prior to purchase, I had to make sure this was the one. I now have the registration and can confirm this is 323.
I will make a video of this boats history in the next week.
Only possible legal issues stopped me from doing this in case I was wrong.

Thank you, I knew the history but had to confirm this is 323, I now have all the logs and the history and will complete a video on just this alone in the next week.

that hole in the bow looks to me like its for the anchor chain and or windless or anchor

Looks a real mess like everything needs replacing …! 😮

return the use of the space into an anchor locker/rope and fender store
