Land Yacht!

What do you do when you're given a sailboat that needs lots of repair before it could ever float again?

I agreed to take a sailboat, sight unseen, for free.  I figured what the heck, it's free, right?

Well the boat was in sad shape.  Cracks in the deck, stays pulling out, rotten lines and sails, and holes in the hull, and so on. (Complete list of problems is here)

Matt had the idea of burying it in the back yard and filling it with dirt. Can you say "raised flower bed"?

In the evening you can just see the blue lights in the rigging:
