    Registration in the Cayman Islands

    Thanks. I've been in that website and found all the forms. Our issue is that we need to have a "representative person" as we cannot be there in person to complete the registration. We are wondering what most people do in this instance?

    Registration in the Cayman Islands

    We've been doing research into this, and we need to have a "representative person". There are companies, such Oceanskies, that will provide this service along with the submission of the registration forms. Do most people use these commercial services? If so, which is the best to use? And is...

    Vendor repairs before purchase

    The vendor has agreed to fix the issues found in the survey (both boat and engine surveys). We are currently in France. Is there a way to ensure that the works done are completed to a good standard and not just the equivalent of "whacking a band-aid on"? We will ask for copies of the invoices...

    Survey report

    We had a survey done on a Selene 66. This is the preliminary report. Given its our first boat, is there anything that we should really be wary of? Any help is very much appreciated.

    Oil analysis and Survey

    Thanks for that. We have also booked an engine specialist to go over the engine as it has just over 4000hrs on the clock. Would it be fair to say that a pre-purchase inspection should pick up anything that may be trying to be covered up? Given the hours on the engine, we want to make sure that...

    Oil analysis and Survey

    We are having a survey done on our prospective boat. Can the surveyor tell if the oil has been changed in the last few days in the hopes of a positive oil analysis? Thanks for any advice!
