Sea Trial

[whisper]

Off to do one of these on Wednesday - never been on one before.
Could I have suggestions on what items I should put on a check list please ?

I asked this question <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.ybw.com/cgi-bin/forums/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=mby&Number=367898&page=&view=&sb=&o=&part=all&vc=1>last year</A>. Fred Drift started a conversation about H*ppy1 but some useful info emerged, nevertheless.

I combined the trial with having the boat lifted and surveyed at the same time. This was incredibly useful, because the guy who surveyed the boat also came out with us on the trial and had a go at helming her. His conclusion was that she was in good shape and ran well (and I have no reason to disagree, 12 months down the line /forums/images/icons/smile.gif) but he could well have picked up on something that I would have missed. For the price of an extra hour of his time, it was money well spent, even on a £25k purchase.
