Just a 'Heads Up'. I am back in Basimakopoulos Shipyard in Kilada mid June 2022, so if any readers are looking at Yachts in this area or require Insurance Surveys drop me an email.
Welcome! I have been surveying boats since 1995, and by 2025, I have completed over 3850 surveys, encompassing a wide range of sail and power boats. Email me: Steve Truss at: steventruss1@aol.com. What can I help you with?
Thinking about buying or insuring a boat in Preveza Greece??

Jeanneau Sunfast 39 for Yacht Survey Leros Greece
Todays Survey assignment was an Insurance Survey on this Jeanneau Sun Fast 39, designed by Jacques Fauroux and built by Jeanneau in 1991.
She is a more performance oriented version of the Sun Charm 39. This one had some keel issues, and had probably been aground at some stage.
