smithy09 50 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi All. I have a friend in the process of buying a 40ft Bavaria and is getting to the survey stage. I always used Ray Beale in the past, but Ray has retired. Who would you recommend for a Westhaven survey? Cheers, Smithy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Above-the-Fold 15 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 We used James Newcombe from Pacific Rim when we bought Above the Fold; he had saved us from an absolutely disastrous purchase a few months earlier and did a good job on both surveys. M 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithy09 50 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Dean Kennedy is also really good. Dean was who he ended up with. Was very thorough and due to some findings resulted in a no-sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 850 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Any updates for good surveyors? It seems like a lot of insurance companies are requiring yachts have it done before reinsuring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
