I've just learned that the Westward
which described finding looking abandoned and forlorn at the bottom of this post:

has had an enormous amount of money spent on her in the past few years but all below the waterline. She now appears stripped because the next work to be done can not be done piecemeal and she is in protective storage until it can be undertaken. They are fully committed to her restoration and she will sail again.
As for the wine mentioned further down the thread, I finally got to confirm that Rich runs a very nice little vintner operation in his basement. Thanks Rich, both bottles were great.
