Vessels in the open
Eight views from the basin, the cockpit and below decks. They describe form, finish and condition without presenting any vessel here as a completed client sale.
-
01 A full mooring basin is where a shortlist starts: size, rig and condition side by side. -
02 Saloon volume, table height and berth layout decide how a boat lives at anchor. -
03 Cockpit layout, helm positions and canvas condition are noted on every walkthrough. -
04 Rig and sail condition are checked with the boat afloat, never from a listing photo. -
05 Frequently handled materials deserve the same attention as the larger silhouette. -
06 Deck hardware, sheet leads and companionway access show how a boat is actually sailed. -
07 Foredeck stowage and hatch condition matter as much as the finish below. -
08 Local harbours are visited in person so condition notes come from the water, not a brochure.
Bring the brief into focus
Vessel type, approximate size, intended use and timing are enough to begin a useful conversation.
