Hi,
Ok this is my second try on this, my first was deleted when I try to insert pictures
Hopefully the Moorings company will not put me on the black list
for asking this questions.
I was in Koz,
Greece this summer and one of the leisure activities I enjoy is walking in the
boat harbor and
dock yards looking on boats
As I was in the
dock yards I found a Robertson&Caine
Leopard 43, that was undergoing
repairs. It looked like they was repairing cracks or faults in the joints between the hulls and bridge
deck (on both sides), or maybe only in gelcoate . I could see
repairs both in front and on the center section but I had no sight of the back so don't know of repairs there.
Sorry for pour quality of
repair pictures when I took up the
camera the
repair people said no pictures, but when I took up my
phone they didn't react
As I am looking to bay a multi
hull (but not before 2012) I frequently scan the
Internet for adverts and find this today:
2005 Robertson and Caine Leopard 43 Sail New and Used Boats for
As to my surprise the advertisement don't mention the repair done to the
boat, and since the name is the same and the location it must be the same boat....
My questions is:
Is it normal practice to not mention repairs of this kind??
If a repair is very good done, It is not considered to mentioned??
Will not a repair of this kind influence the value of the boat??
Are not the
broker responsible for informing customers of all faults, or is it only when
contract is written they must do it??
In my country an advert like this without mention this will result in major back payment/or the boat must be taken back (for the seller) if somebody discover this in one or two years time..
