still moving forward...

Verbal feedback today that the survey on Morgana is OK.... I don't know if there will be any further negotiating, but I hope not... the price was already pretty darned good!

On the purchase front, a few tasks to get sorted...

Insurance cover needs putting in place, which means supplying a copy of the survey to the potential insurer, and then waiting for them to accept it!

Also need to sort out getting the new furler installed... that means organising a rigger, and sorting out getting him access to the boat a the furler is stored below... and also requires the marina to be notified...

Along the way i've got to cancel the old insurance on Morgana... both of which need scheduling to coincide with sale and purchase so neither boat ends up uninsured.

I then need to organise a few bits and pieces that we'll need for the delivery trip, such as in date flares, fire extinguishers, charts etc etc... got most of this, but need to dig out essentials...

Also need to make sure that my metered power lead doesn't leave with Morgana...

There's a need to organise a one way hire car to get us down to the boat for the delivery... otherwise its a long sail followed by hours in the car retrieving cars out of place...

Need to confrm how and where money transfers take place with the broker..

and finally... need to confirm how the completed Bill of Sale, keys and paperwork will be handed over...

Easy this stuff aint it!

no news yet...

on the survey completed yesterday...

We've been trying to plan things out, so keen to hear if everything is OK or not!

While we wait, i've been sorting a rigger to install the brand new Schaefer furling gear that is with our new boat, but not yet fitted... also, looks like we might have to change one of the new stays following our own survey, as its a bit short, and therefore can't be locked off safely... I may well add a rigging toggle to extend it in the interim just to keep costs down!

1 down, 1 to go

Survey on purchase all ok (well, nothing that we didn't know about, and structurally 100%)

Just Morgana's survey to go now, and that happens on Saturday
