    1974 58 Yachtfsher

    I am going to look at this boat on the 10th of July at 13:00. I would appreciate any tips on what to look for, i.e. wet decks and where they could be located, windows: what to be vary of, and any other pointers you are willing to provide.
    Regards;
    Byron

    I had one old leak stain on the entire boat. It's on the headliner in the bow stateroom directly under a bolt for one of the big bow storage boxes. I'm monitoring it to see if it still leaks in all this rain.

    You might notice under those boxes if the headliner has been painted recently...or anywhere else.

    Looks like the starboard rudder blade is twisted on the stem. VERIFY!!

    I see a bit of corrosion on the windlass in the anchor locker. Please have a very good look at the area around the windlass and pulpit area for core rot and in the pulpit under the teak trim. A poorly sealed windlass will destroy core quickly and the nice white paint job in there may be covering something. I just recored my pulpit and 15 square feet under my windlass, a sizable job.
