Hi all,
Pleased to be joining Sailnet as I believe I am about to purchase my first sailboat. I looked around many sites and this seemed the most helpful and usually the first forum that comes up in Google when doing any research.
I have made an offer on a Lippincott 30 and the owner has accepted. The owner is a friend and we toured the boat a couple weeks ago - looks to my untrained eye to be in pretty good shape. I guess the next thing is a survey.
So here is my first question (of many)...
Is there anything I need to look for in selecting a surveyor or is it OK to go with the broker suggestion?
Do I need just an insurance survey or do I need a comprehensive marine survey?
OK, that's two questions already...
