The offer has been accepted! So, for the second time in my life I'm under contract on a sailing yacht. Now, as I've learned, the fun begins. Have to get everyone scheduled for the survey, haul-out and sea trial.
For the survey, I'll be using Jonathan Sands from Atlantic Marine Group again. With our last experience using him, this was a no-brainer decision and I have confidence in his abilities. Since that first inspection, I've seen his name mentioned several times and it seems I do not stand alone in thinking he is a pretty good catamaran surveyor.
I still need to do a bit of research on the Leopard 38 as well. I've typically done a lot of research prior to going to look at boats, but this time I was not as prepared as I was with the Lagoon or the Fountaine Pajot boats.
Amazing how the boat buying process seems to toggle between dead stop to full-speed ahead.
Good luck to you both and as fellow cruisers we wish you well!
