anxiety in buying a boat
Casey1004,
Well, that''s a lot more info than we knew before.
I''m sure there are many who would argue that you should never use someone else''s survey, even from just 6 weeks ago, but I''m not savvy enough to advise you on that point. In any case, it would seem as long as you trust the surveyor, you are taking much less risk than it appeared before.
All my research to date on in-mast furlers has led me to the conclusion that I would greatly prefer a slab-reefing main. A roach, battens, and the ability to drop sail with minimal risk of jamming has me convinced to avoid in-mast furling. I know there are folks out there that love them, but that''s my take so far.
Good luck with your purchase and here''s hoping your family loves your new boat.
