yacht survey east coast IPSWICH

[hurley]

Hi please can anyone recommend someone to do a survey for a second hand yacht.

I am finding it confusing with all the regulations realting to minimum professional standards. There seems to be several professional bodies.

Also what do people consider the going rate ?



Thanks in advance Nick

Thanks for the recommendation Sailorman. I have spoken to Mr Evans who sounded just the ticket and has agreed to do my survey.

I suppose its quite an endorsement in itself that he does not need to advertise.

Thanks Nick

i have known Martin for 10ys.
he surveyed my last boat for the new owner, i didn't know Martin then.
the survey was very fair to both parties he didn't find anything i didn't already know.
i actually phoned him thanking him for a very factual survey & have used him ever since

It is well worth being there when he does the survey as you will be able to discuss his findings. First class bloke, very approachable.

Martin did a first class survey for a friend some years ago when he was buying a wooden Stella, and gave me some tips about engine mechanics when I once spoke to him myself. Sadly he was on holiday when I was buying my previous boat, so I used Paul Stevens. Paul was also very good and thorough. The boat was being osmosis treated for a second time, and he took an hour of his time to have a look at the boat at the stage when it was having an extra layer of laminate put on to make sure it was being done right, going back at a later date to carry out the full survey. Now we could start a thread about who NOT to use, but the posts would all have to be deleted by the webmaster!
