Hi Ho Sailors
I am hoping to buy a yacht in the next few months. 30-40 year old blue water fibre glass mono hull for short handed cruising. Something like an S&S 34. I have been googling surveyors but have only found stinkboat inspectors. Does anyone know of experienced yacht pre purchase surveyors which will list everything I need to replace on a report, including osmosis issues. In the Perth/Mandurah/Busselton area. Do you know approximate cost? Thanks

They can do the rig check and prob know a good surveyor

The majority of yachts will require a survey for insurance purposes. Therefore you might as well use a surveyor that can provide a report that the insurance companies will accept. The attached link can be used to highlight marine surveyors that Club Marine will accept

From memory the last time I had to carry out a survey (normally every 5 years) Club Marine also sent me a list of surveyors. You could also contact their Perth office for the list. From memory it was $500-600.

Hi, we are also about to get a pre-purchase survey in Perth for a sailing cat. Wondering if anyone has had Ian Calvert do their survey? Another 2 people we have had recommended are Paul Masters and Rob Coulson. Does anyone have any experience or reconstructions??

thanks
