This page is out of date, obviously. I will update it soon. High level I can tell you that we are still under what we initially predicted for this project. Barely…Fingers crossed that we won’t be too much higher!
Every sailing blog we have ever looked at skirts around the issue of what things actually cost, and yet one of the first questions that most people who think about restoring a boat let alone sailing off into the sunset ask is, what does it cost?
We will try to maintain an accurate list of all expenditures in relation to the refit of Akupara itemized below, with a running total. If it becomes too depressing for us than we might have to put a stop to it but we are starting with good intentions. Our initial ball park guestimates are that we will end up in between $80000-$100000 by the time we are finished which includes the price we paid for Akupara. Now, we are accepting donations, so do not feel weird at all if you think you might like to write us a cheque for 100 grand. We will gratefully take it! 😉
As well, we will attempt to keep a journal of the man hours spent on the project. 1 person for 1 hour equals 1 man hour. So 2 people for 5 hours equals 10 man hours. – UPDATE – We have lost track of actual manhours completely. The easiest way now is just to count the months. We are just coming up to 5 years shortly.
