Hello all
Presently I am looking to buy my first boat to sail in coastal waters. I have owned a narrow boat in the past and do realise that any boat is a money pit.
Anyway, there is a 1981 Fairline weekender powerd by a Ford diesel that has caught my eye, it seems to tick the boxes for what I need although from the photos the interior needs attention. the boat is presently out of the water on a trailer.
I could do with some advice on what to look out for in general and any information on this particular vessel would be a bonus.
I am new to the forum so there may already be information on the subject somewhere, if so a pointer to where I could find it would be welcome
I plan to view the boat soon
Best regards and keep safe
Bob
