Assuming this person is genuine and not a troll (it is school holidays after all) - you really do need to change your attitude or either you or worse, someone else, is going to end up drowning. It's not a sport you can jump into blind, you need to learn the basics then either take classes on navigation, seamanship etc or ideally crew for someone who can show you, then take advice on which boat to buy for yourself once you are competant to handle a boat on open water and deal with any probelms that might happen. Also more general advice, you came on a forum asking for help, these people took time out of whatever they were doing to answer you so don't be so ungrateful by hurling insults just because it's not the answer you wanted to hear! |

when did i say i would go out on my yacht with out training? the fact i am going to buy a boat then get trained on it is my choice, i have lived on boats just not been sailing, the idea of being stuck on a boat with people like the ones who think they can just put down anyone that doesn,t think like them is a nightmare, bunch of "you don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this" for the record they started with the insults after they decided that i was buying a boat and heading out to sea with out traing i mean if this was a forum on shooting and you asked about a shot gun someone offed to sell you, you might get a bit peeved off with prats telling you not to put it in you mouth and pull the trigger many thx to the guy who knows of this boat, and also to the guys recomending a survey, rest of you get a life ffs

Did you hear that?
The rest of you? Get a life ffs Sounds like a man after my own heart. Edit; To three times loser Sounds too cheap chum, could be Osmosis central, have it checked out. And don't even dream for a nano second of trying to take it out with no sail training, the rescue services are all volunteer funded, by charity subscription, a lot by all of us and in time you, just make sure a few years pass before you have to use them.

respect G,R,F is here the guy selling it when asked about osmosis says she hasn,t got any and that boats this old are so thick that it never a problem, i welcome coments on that and rest ashored i am not a risk taker when it comes to safty i will not sail untill i am trained, maybe a gambler when its just smallish amouts of money, a survey at £400 seems a big chunck out of £3,200, the guy selling works at the yacht club was taking gamble that he is a bit easy to find if he has lied, but you have worried me a bit, so will sleep on that, if forums where full of ppl like G,R,F they would be great places |

i never thought i would hear/ read that!!!!! have you viewed the boat properly? is it out of the water so that you can get a proper look at the keel and underside of the hull? osmosis will look like small bubbles under the surface of the paint/ gel coat. easiest to fin by running your hand across the hull. i know very little of yachts but if you can try and wiggle the tip of the rudder blade. it shouldnt move in the hull but something inside the shafts wears and can i think be a pain to replace (not sure on cost) other general stuff like engine wear etc need to be checked. best bet would be to try and get him to take you out in it for a half days sailing so you can get to know how it all works and also to satisfy yourself that its a decent boat. one thing though, on this forum people really appreciate good grammer and spelling as it makes it easier for them to read/ understands.
