Buying caution!!!

[grumpy_o_g]

I'm at a loss as to why anyway wants to treat buying a boat in this price range as a specialist activity. You can pay £3,500 for a DSLR camera, a fishing rod, all sorts of things - the potential for the beginner to get it wrong is just as great. There is an argument for using specialist services at the higher end of the market where hundred of thousands may be involved but, even then, the provisions for a transaction like that already exist.

If the user isn't a troll then they will need to adjust their attitude fairly quickly once they start sailing. It's not much good looking for regulations to help you when the pot line's wrapped around your prop and you're setting down onto a lee shore.

What a waste of space he is, if he is a troll

An interesting thread, though, mainly because of the attitude that the state should protect me, rather than I take responsibility myself.

And he can´t spell sailer (sic).

Argh! Suckered!
His previous postings show too many inconsistencies to list out. He is either a deliberate troll or totally delusional and doesn't know who he is.
How does one alert the Mods and ask them to consider banning?

Click on the red "danger" road sign triangle at the top of a post (preferably the first one) & give a cross reference to the previous thread & ask for special attention to be given to this contributor.

It's their decision tho, not ours. But he is bad mouthing commercial companies & that is generally a serious No-No on here, err well, if they are advertisers perhaps!

Thanks, done.
In one previous post he claims to have a friend who is a surveyor and who has advised him on boats he has bought previously - amusing in the context of this thread.
