I am in the process of evaluating the purchase of a used yacht and had the opportunity to look at a Nicholson 31 a few days ago. Looking behind the closets, I was very surprised to find a few strange things, like windows being srewed on the sides of the roof just using parker screws and the screw ends sticking inside the boat by a good half inch. It looks like most of the things inside are done using such screws and of course they tend to pull out of the deck and other places. Nothing very dangerous, but I thought a yard with such a reputation would spend more attention to details like these.
Can anybody comment my findings? Is this usual, even for reputable builders?
Thanks in advance.
