A Sea Trial is not a Test Sail Bob.
In a Sea Trail you have committed to purchase and are testing the vessels
components to assure they match the claims. A Sea Trail and Survey is
contingent upon final sale. I did not require a test sail because I had a
reasonable idea of the abilities and performance of the vessel. I did not
have to sail a sistership to understand that aspect.

I can understand that as a relative newcomer to boats in general ..... you
would be wise to pursue the avenue laid out for the inexperienced. I commend
you on your diligence.
