Can ytoui passage plan and act as skipper.

It's a river. You stay between the buoys, watch out for tugs,
and enjoy the view.

what quilifications do you hold?

Reasonable intelligence, no need to prove how brave I am, and an
appreciation for what could happen if . . .

The feeling is that what she really needs is a few weekends with
some fine sandpaper and teak oil, and maybe some paint for the
decks.

Oh hell, here's what brought me there in the first place.

Agreed. Check the boat out with a fine tooth comb, Steve! Make sure you lean heavily against all the stanchions, looking closely at the deck around the bases. Flexing or a mushy feel is bad.
Sometimes you even see water squeezing out.

Also, before you make an offer, sit down with a Layline or Defender catalog & figure what a new set of running rigging will cost.... bet you'll be surprised.

Definitely pay to get the boat surveyed. Go to one of the marine surveyor nation'l websites and check around, don't hire the guy the broker recommends. It will be the best investment you can
possibly make.

Smart move.

How much are they charging you? We just had one... $12/foot.

Yet another ignorant failure!

That's right, failure. There is no reason in the world
you cannot do your own survey and do a better job
at it than paying some idiot who really doesn't give
a flying crap about your boat.

Get your lazy ass of the the library or get on the
Internet and do some reading. That's all it takes -
a little education.

Geez what PUTZES we have calling themselves
sailors these days.
