Broadblue 435 Catamaran Survey in Preveza Greece
Surprisingly in these uncertain times Survey work has carried on with a few tweak's!
I am based in Greece and I can still travel and work with a permit so have been fortnightly commuting to western Greece and concentrating Inspections in Lefkada and Preveza.
Clients are still buying and now demanding 'Walk Through Surveys', 'Video Surveys' and lots of images and online discussion. WhatsApp has allowed us to send stream video and images showing important defects and immediate findings.
This is my latest inspection on this Broadblue 435 Cat built in the UK. The builders Goodchild Marine I know well after spending 10 years Surveying in Norfolk. They are specialists in building commercial boats.
The quality of workmanship and care that have gone into the construction of the Broadblue is immediately obvious. The semicustom bespoke aspect of its equipment list and construction will appeal to many owners preparing for extended bluewater cruising. This is a quality boat that should retain its value.
