I spent the last few days watching your Lady K Sailing – not the boat videos as we have our perfect boat. I noticed in one of the videos that you were concerned about the swage fitting discolouration and that you went as far as talking to Herb and Maddie from Rigging Dr. On our last trip north from the Bahamas to Owen Sound, we had a break in one wire of the genny forestay as well as breaks to the stays'l stay. We looked into dyneema using primarily Rigging Dr., James from Zingaro and very importantly John Franta from Colligo. We decided to go with the dyneema and are building our new rig over this winter while I am off work. If you would like, feel free to get in touch and we can talk it over. Susan and Rick.

A big advantage of having your own boat broker is that they'll be able to provide you with the comparable boats and you won't have to wait for the surveyor to tell you them. Your boat broker and the seller's boat broker split the brokerage fee, so there's no "apparent" cost to you. However, if you don't use a broker, you can tell the selling broker you want him to kick in some money because you don't have a broker. Usually broker fees are 10% of the selling price, so you can easily ask that the selling broker to eat 1 or 2% of the boat price. He can say no, but you can at least ask…

Great points especially about forgetting to take the pictures lol how many times we go back home sitting at night thinking about it and wish we had a photo to look at.

Love your videos. I tried to access your Discord link but had no luck. I contributed a one-off support payment to your work. Would be nice if you could give us your thoughts on a Kraken 50 Vs Moody54DS as ocean-crossing yachts, say Capetown South Africa to Sydney Australia :). Keep up the great work!

a few notes on the 343 you reviewed. The example you noted on Yacht world has pictures that are not of a 343. The Companion way pictures with the Clear Dodger are not of a 343. The example for sale in St Martin for 45K looks a lot like the one I lost in hurricane Irma. We sailed it from new till 2017. The St Martin one is an example of a very well used boat after it endured a hurricane, but it has a new Mast. Ps Yanmar indicates that their engines have a life of 10,000 hours before rebuild with proper oil changes. Enjoyed your Video most informative.

Good video overall. One thing to note is that a surveyor should never share the survey results with the seller or selling broker. It is yours and yours alone as the potential buyer. Also, most brokers are going to want a purchase agreement (and deposit) prior to survey and test sail.

Love the "armchair sailor" comment, Tim. It's so true that there are tons of on-line critics that say you should only buy some high end, semi-custom, bullet proof, 7 figure machine. Virtually none of these "experts" own one of these boats, and in fact, most don't own a boat at all. They just site at home and watch YouTube videos to acquire their "knowledge." Their credibility in my mind is zero and I pay no attention to them. As for self-inspecting pre-offer and pre-survey, I'm always used your "walk the decks" technique to get an early idea of the boat's structural condition. I actually baby-step the entire deck over every square foot feeling for de-lamination. If there is any, that's usually an immediate deal breaker. Unfortunately for C & C, back in the day I'd discovered this too many times on their mid-70's to mid-80's models. Finally, the survey is huge and necessary. Yes, it's expensive and it may be tempting to skip it if you are not financing the boat, but it is your best negotiating leverage when finalizing your purchase price with the seller. You'll almost always get your $1200 in survey cost back due to price adjustments you are able to secure as a result of things the surveyor finds, especially because he has that magic tool, a moisture meter.

I thought osmosis would also be a deal breaker.
