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
