The reason we want to address the rust issue first is to give us more time for the other projects.

The vision is to convert her back into a tops'l schooner. So two masts and square topsails on the schooner mast. For that we need the rig, we have to lower the quarter deck down to bulwark hight and we want to lower the wheelhouse as well.

We are not completely sure how we want to use the boat once she is finished. But the layout will probably be something like that:
a big captains cabin aft
a big saloon with gally
two more luxurious guest cabins
and as many bunks in the foreship as possible

So a mix out of a private yacht and a traditional sailing ship. I can see myself sailing with trainees and youth groups. Not so much with charter guests.
