Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum. New , meaning this is my first post. But I have read a lot of the stuff written here. I am not new to sailing though. I worked for the last 8 years as a professional skipper, mostly in the mediterranean.
This year I thought it is a good ideea to buy a sailboat for me and my family . I found a Hummingbird 30 which I would like to buy. I read all that I can find on internet (not a lot though), and I read also a lot about the Elizabethan 30 which is let's say , sistership . I like the fact that this particular one has a new engine installed. And I also like the fact that the interior of the H 30 moulded fiberglass - so less to restore, IMO.
I would like to ask if there are known hull problems, deck delamination, or other structural problems, that I should check before buying.
Any other info would be great!
Thanks in advance for the info! (and also sorry about grammar mistakes, english is not my native language).
