Well, we can all talk about woulda coulda shoulda done this or that differently, but at the root, this is about a surveyor doing a really bad job and if it was a doctor and a diagnosis we wouldn't be talking about "that's what you get for going to a cheap doctor".
Andre...I am going to assume that this guy was certified by one of the sanctioning agencies like SAMS, and at the very least, you should write a detailed note to that agency regarding your experience so as to have this kind of shoddiness on record in case others have the same experience. I'd also ask for my money back but think the chances of that happening are slim.
Given your fuller description of the problems found I am going to withdraw my earlier comment about being wrong about the need for a shakedown cruise! (G) But I do admire your fortitude in getting past the problems and completing the voyage. If there is a next time...I'm sure you'll put the lessons learned to good use AND I think your open discussion of the problems can b instructive for others contemplating voyages on just purchased boats. Thanks!
