Scotty and Mooron are now advocating buying a boat without a sea trial of any
kind. I'm curious; how many folks here bought their vessel without a sea trial
or at least sailing the same design prior?
I sailed Yoda before buying her.
I sailed a Pearson 30 3 times before buying Ghost.
I sailed a C&C 32 twice before buying Alien and drove quite a distance to do
it.
I think spending time aboard a boat (when possible) is a good idea prior to
purchase.
