[Blueboatman]

Inwater survey of vessel ‘Some Doubt Shurly’.
Summary:

“ I was unable to gain full
access to the stern area and the yachts machinery at this time.”

“ The searchlight appears to be intact”

“ The ( Wette Ragge) Moisture Meter indicated some evidence of excessive moisture readings in sections of the hull......”

“ Further inspection, possibly at lowest astronomical tide , is highly recommended to the yachts machinery and stern gear “

“ there is believed to be perhaps more to this vessel than meets the eye(etc etc )at this time... etc..”

Invoice £675 please .

Caveat Empty: this is not a watertight survey

Just need to check the integrity of its encapsulated keel, refit the ketch rigging and offer it as suitable for living aboard. It will surely become first among equals with the proper sailors.

Back in the 60s there was a yacht broker whose adverts (print only in those days) always included one or two boats like this one - with brutally honest descriptions! They were usually quite amusing, and certainly meant that people read the adverts. I think that an estate agent in London has used a similar tactic.
