Survey Completed.

The survey recently done on Rogue was unfortunately not up to scratch or as good as it could have been. Anyone could have stated what was said. There is also a reality to face with a boat like this as there are only a few simple things designed in the late 1800s to inspect.

At the end of the day, knowing hull integrity is sound is enough to convince me she's not a lemon. Unless it's blatantly obvious, things most always look fine until they break anyway. That’s where insurance comes in.

At a high-level, in order of importance the items needing work includes: replacing and securing loose ballast, new antifouling, refinishing the mast, overhauling the cabin, upgrading the sheets, touch-up repair in the cockpit, replacing the bowsprit, gold leaf on the bow decoration, reinforcing the deck and considering laying teak.
