[C38] Under Contract - Some questions

[Steve Smolinske]

Congratulations Danny, it’s a great boat!!

 

1                 Check with IPS  Island  Planet Sails they sell furlers

2                 Check with IPS  great prices on sails, also  check  with Cliff on this board he is a sailmaker too

3                 Mast step I  believe on the website there  is a drawing of that detail, not super sure. 

4                 135 is great for the 15-25 knot range.   The boat  does  not  like to be overpowered, she performs beautifully when powered correctly.

Hi Guys,

 

After an unusual round of interactions, I've finally come to terms on a price and about to sign a P&S and schedule a pre purchase survey.  I'm pretty excited about the prospect but, still willing to walk away if the survey goes bad, (or worse than I have imagined).

 

Anyway, just trying to gather some info about things we'd need pretty quickly if the deal goes thru.

 

1. New standing rigging and a roller fuler

    I'm looking at a Profurl on closeout from Defender currently and I'm going to try and contact the guy that rerigged my previous boat 

    for the standing rigging.  Any insights or comment here?

 

2.  I believe it will need a new headsail pretty quickly too.  when the seller says it is "fair" it needs replaced...  I see some available on 

      line for delivery.  Is that a good idea?  We're not racers but we like spirited sailing and don't really go home at 25knots...  I'm 

      thinking a 135 working sail will do us nicely.

 

3. A bimini is really important to us.  It this something we can get from an on line source?  Or, is that a bad idea?

 

4. The mast step seems to need attention.  I think someone here has a pretty detailed how to on that.  The existing one seems to be 

    a shaped block of wood.  Any good pointers here or where I could find that how to?

 

5. Any particular things or areas of focus I should make the surveyor aware of?

 

Thanks for any comments, suggestions or insights guys.

 

Danny
