What Do You Inspect First on a Used Sailboat?

What should you inspect first when buying a used sailboat? This used sailboat buying guide explains what to look for when viewing sailboats for sale, how to inspect a sailboat before making an offer, and how to spot sailboat problems that could lead to expensive repairs. Whether you are boat shopping for your first sailboat, comparing used sailboats, or trying to decide which sailboat to buy, this video will help you avoid common boat-buying mistakes and avoid buying the wrong sailboat. Before buying a used boat, you need to understand the difference between your own initial boat inspection and a professional sailboat survey. We explain when to hire a marine surveyor, why a haul-out and boat survey matter, and how to decide whether a sailboat is worth surveying.
