Conclusion With the exception of the required re-caulking of the deck, the yacht was found in a good condition with minor defects typical for a secondhand boat. To be fair, I find most often in surveys of secondhand boats that attention to the caulking at least is required if not more significant work on the deck. The yacht was found structurally good and proven on sea trial to be in a general good operation and seaworthy provided the recommendations are carried out.
