I have my 79 c27 on the market. Had a potential buyer, who commissioned a survey. I never did one when I got the boat. The hull was fine, most of the deck was fine except near the stanchions and the chain-plates. The surveyor indicated moisture as high as 25%. I am curious - is this common? I figured that the fittings should all be re-bedded but does it represent a major problem with the boat? Everything looks good from underneath and the rig is holding tension - I will obviously disclose it to any other potential buyers - but is it a major detriment to boat?
The surveyor also made mention that the factory forestay tang was insuffiicent and there was a risk it would rip out. The boat is a standard rig, and I have not heard of this as a C27 issue before. Has anyone else come across it? Below is a link to a pic of the nose of the boat. http://www.opus45.com/c27_pics/DSCN3370.JPG thanks Derek A. #4297
