What is commissioning?

[john_morris_uk]

Its only fraud if you try to deceive someone. If you are up front about the costs, then its not fruadulent.

It seems to me that you either pay on the price of the boat, or you pay the commissioning fee as an add on.

What's the problem? But then I don't buy new boats...

I have only spoken to 2 delivery skippers about HR and they both said that for a quality boat they received it with lots of faults and the delivery trip was effectively the QC inspection.

I don't get this obsession with Swedish boats - just because they cost an arm and a leg, they must be quality /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I've had one Volvo car and is was crap; previous boat had a Volvo engine (replaced lots of money later by a Yanmar) and it was crap; previous boat - and present one - have Furlex genoa furling gear and it was/is crap; previous boat had Selden mast and it started to show cracks,...
When I went shopping for a new boat there were two major requirements: no Volvo engine and no Selden mast. When money allows the Furlex's being replaced by a Harken.

Quite - but as we all know a Saab's a designer Vauxhall/Opel. (GM -> not Swedish)
