Techno Cat I - PDQ 36 #15 - Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVI

Rick Gordon (original owner of SMAY PDQ 34->36) and
I recently spent a week in the British Virgin Islands
working on Techno Cat I, in preparation for a major
restoration project. Our eventual goal is to bring
Techno Cat I to a point where it can be sold to a new
owner, most likely along the East Coast of the U.S

We will try to keep people posted on the progress
and may develop a web-site as we go along. For those
not familiar with the history, Techno Cat I was damaged
in a hurricane when another boat drifted into its
mooring and was caught between the bows and mooring
lines, resulting in both bows being pounded off. The
lines evenentually were frayed apart and the boat
drifted safely to shore and never sank. We are now
debating one of many ways to reglass the bows and of
course will make it look like the new PDQ 36s with the
aluminum spar

There are many debates about where to do the work and
how much to invest before a new owner is located. We
also want to enjoy the challenges of the repair and
the adventure of bringing the boat back to a factory
new condition

If anyone wants to join in the project or is interested
in purchasing the boat at some point along the way, we
are always open to suggestions. Drop us a line.
