I just read Ian Nichol's Book on Surveying Sailboats, and it was
very good.
I would like to get a "Yacht Survey Form" to use as an initial,
informal survey and to record of the boats I look at.
1) Has any note created a 'Survey Check-list' or Survey Form for
this purpose?
2) If none exist, I can summarize Ian Nichol's book into a
survey checklist for this notefile.

A complete check list would be nice to have, if you have the energy to
enter one. The list in 3.4 of notes on BOAT_BUYING gives pointers to
much information. Alan Vaitses' book on Surveying is also good.

| 1648.3 | Revised Survey Form | GUESS::THOMPSON | Mike DLB 5-2/B10 | Mon Mar 18 1991 15:58 | 393 |
I used Frank's survey form to look at a number of Cape Dory 25.
Attached is a revision, with the items arranged more in the order in which
they are visited during the survey. I first walked around the hull, then
looked around the deck and lastly inside. I concentrated on the hull, so
that the pages dealing with the rig, sails and engine were much less used.
Note thaty items not usually found on a Cape Dory 25 have been omitted.
