[Public-List] Can anyone recommend a surveyor in the Norfolk area?

[Paul P]

Great info, thanks! Yeh, already emailed the guy about that sail :-) what do you think a fair offer would be if things checked out? I don't want to insult the guy but there are a couple of diesels inc a recent yanmar further afield for under $10k. The atomic, running gear are all negatives but she looks like she has good canvas, nice dodger, solar, tiller autopilot I could tie into a capehorn, v clean interior. 
​
Wherever the price lands, it doesn't
begin to represent the true value of a machine like that. It just needs a new home for someone to love it for the long term and show it the world :-) Hopefully, we can make an agreement and make it happen. She's terribly pretty and local. 

​
Thanks again, wish me luck!


Paul.
