i'm considering buying a well used seawych and would welcome any advice from people who know the boats or have experience of them on what to look out for or areas that could cause future problems?

complete with private Chichester harbour mooring
Thanks for the advice all, it would seem that I’ve now become an owner of an early mk1 seawych.

The mark 1 was grey and white with slightly less ballast than the mark 2 which was red and white.
All but the very early boats ( up to about sail number 78 or 79 when the ballast and sail area were increased ) are Mk2 but it was not a distinction made by John Sadler. Rather an informal distinction made by the Owners Association
The red and white boats came much later. I beleive the first had just been completed when I bought mine, which is SW408, in 1977
