Bought for £2,000, Restored for 5 Years, Finally Launched

Five years ago we bought this abandoned steel yacht for just £2,000. What followed was half a decade of welding, grinding, painting, engineering, rebuilding and sheer determination to save a boat that most people had written off. Today marks the moment it all became worthwhile. In this video, Steel Melody finally returns to the water. After years sitting ashore and thousands of hours of work, we watch her launch and sail again for the first time as a fully restored yacht. This isn't the full restoration story. That video is still to come. This is the moment we've been waiting five years to see. ⛵ Abandoned steel yacht bought for £2,000 ⛵ Five-year restoration project ⛵ Thousands of hours of work ⛵ Launch day at last ⛵ Steel Melody sails again If you've followed our boat restoration journey from the beginning, thank you for being part of it.
