Kit Onboard

Hired an estate car to deliver kit to Itchenor.

Load Kit

Arrive at around 10:00 and spend over 3 hours cleaning decks cabin exterior and topsides. She was really dirty but scrubbed up nicely.

Kit from previous boat fits easily on board. There is masses of storage and plenty is left unused.
Interior

Pulpit has been removed but is not yet repaired.

Money Transferred

Money is transferred and delivery/hand over arranged for Monday 8th August 2005. Will have access to the boat for kit stowage and cleaning prior to delivery.

Survey Results

Survey report received and confirms no major issues. Purchase can now proceed. Surveyors advice conflicts with builders best practice on a couple of points. Namely securing pin at mast heel and boom washers. Decide to go with builders on these points.

Comprehensive documentation on board include photographs taken during building and manufacturers manuals for all kit. Only thing missing is a ships manual showing general layout, wiring, dimensions, rig specifications etc. Broker says he will try to get me this.

Survey

I arrange to be present when survey conducted. Arrive around 10:30 and find that surveyor has been some time on the boat. Surveyor finishes by lunchtime and verbally give the OK. Only a few minor points come to light.
