Many of us are shopping for boats far & wide. It would be nice to get a preliminary idea of a particular boats condition before spending time & money to go see that boat. This thread can be a resource for 'remote eyes'. I propose that those that are willing to take a peek at a boat for sale put your location here. This would not constitute a survey or recomendation or anything more than one persons opinion.
PLEASE keep these posts short & direct to the locations offered and perhaps time of year. Do not clog this thread with various opinions on a boat visited or other stuff.
Any inquiries for help should be made by Private Message only, off line. Keep the communications private.
Comments regarding findings should only be shared on a separate thread and only with the agreement of both sailnetters.
Brokers, please refrain from joining in here. This is for independent evaluations.
Thanks.
EDIT: NOTE...THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED AS A FREE ASSISTANCE BY SAILNET MEMBERS FOR SAILNET MEMBERS. ALL FINDING ARE SIMPLY OPINIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS PROFESSIONAL EVALUATIONS OR RELIED UPON FOR ULTIMATE PURCHASE DECISIONS. THIS IS MERELY A HELPFUL SERVICE IN THE SPIRIT OF SAILORS HELPING OTHER SAILORS!
Northern NY - Albany/Lake George/Southern Lake Champlain
I'd be willing to help a fellow sailor with an opinion and some digi photos as much as time will allow. I occassionally go as far north as Plattsburgh/Burlington. Count me in. Great idea!
I live outside of Friday Harbor, but can get to any of the main islands: Orcas, Lopez, Shaw, Blakely, Decauter, and Waldron. I have a video and a digital still camera.
I can look in the Minneapolis MN area. I don't know much but I have a camera and take instruction well if you are looking for specifics. Also reasonably agile so can squeeze into things but I am not going to climb up a mast.
Southern California -- Marina del Rey through Newport Beach -- although I can go further north and south on occasion. I know very little but have a digital camera and love looking at boats. Ginger
Don't laugh! NE Nebraska, SE South Dakota - I sail the Lewis and Clark Reservior - 26 square miles of surface water.
I have a digi camera and would be glad to post pics as time will allow.
I noticed none yet from Vancouver Island..I can help however I can. My slip is in Sidney, BC so if there is something you need close to Sidney just let me know.
Rappahannock river south to Norfolk..
my broker bud is awesome..oh..and I can make representations on Oxford Md too..Tred-Avon..brett and barry..great guys both.
I can do Cleveland to Sandusky on Lake Erie, although if it a time sensitive deal, I probably couldn't do it right away. I live three hours from my slip and generally go up about every other week-end once the boat is in the water (April through mid-November), but if you just want some preliminary info and maybe some digital photos, I can make arrangements.
If in the immediate Seattle area (Lake Washington, Lake Union, within 50 miles of Seattle) I can do such - I always look for why it doesn't work and will be more than happy to take my digital camera along....
