After getting through a short and amicable negotiating process, Kay and Brett flew up to Seattle on Nov 17, 2022 for the survey and sea trial. We used Marine Consultants, Inc who was recommended by our pre-purchase consulant John Neal. Aaron Bandstra did an outstanding job going through every element of the boat from sun up to sun down. We could not have asked for anyone to work harder (or answer more questions) than Aaron.
Certainly for us, a major highlight was the sea trial, when we took the boat off the dock at Swiftsure on Lake Union, and sailed under the Ballard drawbridge to our haul out. The hull was thoroughly tapped and prodded, then we got to go for a beautiful sail in the sunshine on Lake Union. It was sheer joy to see our future boat behave so nicely under sail and power.
