Friends
I am going to see this boat tomorrow
http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F156297
Van de Stadt designed 2 = 2 Diesel Yacht re-engined 2005 with brand
new Volvo MD1, new(2005) stainless steel fuel tank, new sea toilet
with 2006 fitted sea valves. NASA echo sounder, well fitted out with
usual fittings, sails in good condition, Includes BIC dinghy
I can assume that the engine is okay
I will get the man to start it from cold for me
how do I check the cutlass gland
I understand they get sloppy
How do I check that the bilge keels are not about to fall off
how do I check that the rudder will not fall off
are there any known leak points on these boats
the rigging, mast, sails etc I assume I can judge for myself
do these boats suffer from roof compression
I have access to a drying mooring for the winter - on soft Salcombe
mud
will the boat be happy until Christmas
