Thank you Sailingmum;
That was what i was looking for, I had no illusions that a free boat would come ready to sail but the thought of taking a boat and restoring it to sailing glory appealed to me. Buying something that is in pristine condition isn't a bad thing but a boat like that anyone could buy and start sailing. An abandon boat is such a sad thought that getting one and rebuilding it back to seaworthy status, there would just be more pride in that. I hope that made sense.
As for me, well since abandon or free boats is a foreign concept around here and I don't have time to spend weeks scouring marinas for a boat to rebuild. I have seen some derelict wrecks around here but the owners are looking for premium cash. Boating in Canada, well central Ontario anyway seems to be taken up by people that love it as the window for sailing is so small.
Good luck to the OP, I hope I am never in her shoes trying to keep a home afloat with kids on board.
