How it usually goes.

Every job is different, but most follow this shape.

  1. Look at the boat together

    What to look for, what matters for the kind of sailing you have in mind, and what a seller might not volunteer.

  2. Weigh it up

    Plain-language guidance on what is worth worrying about and what is not.

  3. Take over smoothly

    A handover that covers systems, quirks and next steps, then commissioning if she needs it.

This is for you if…

  • You are close to buying a sailing yacht and want a second opinion.
  • You have bought and want the handover done properly.

Questions about this.

Is this a marine survey?

No. This is practical guidance from an experienced skipper. It is not a formal marine survey, and Franco will tell you when a surveyor is the right call.
