If You See This on a Used Sailboat, Walk Away

Thinking about buying a used sailboat? Before you pay for a marine survey, make sure the boat is even worth inspecting. In this video, we look at seven major used sailboat problems that can turn a good deal into a very expensive mistake, including soft deck core, rotten bulkheads and chainplate structure, keel-support damage, mast-step problems, hull delamination, structural mast repairs, and aging cored hulls. If you’re searching the used sailboat market, comparing sailboats for sale, or learning how to inspect a sailboat before buying, these are the red flags you need to understand. A used boat survey can uncover a lot, but knowing what to look for during your first sailboat inspection can save you time, money, and a very painful refit. #UsedSailboat #BuyingASailboat #SailboatInspection #UsedBoat #SailboatSurvey #BoatBuying #SailboatForSale #Sailing #PracticalSailor #MarineSurvey Practical Sailor is your trusted resource for reviews of sailboats and sailing gear. https://www.practical-sailor.com Chat with us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/PracticalSailor/
