Years ago (I forget exactly how many but less than 10) dad picked up a part finnished hull of a Robert's 24 off a guy who used to build wooden boats professionally in Busselton. He got it pretty cheaply, about $2500, which was less than the materials cost, let alone the time spent building it.
To this point via spurts of building and long periods of other things (breaking his neck surfing, moving house, grandchildren, travel, retirement etc.) dad has managed to complete the interior, deck, cockpit, and cabin.
Retirement has left mum and dad without a lot of spare cash to complete the boat and I find myself getting down south a lot more often - so pooling our resources we should be able to get the thing in the water within a year.
Cool.
