More of the same "guys in the marine industry are fucking me and getting rich on me" whining-I like what these two are doing-don't get me wrong-the world needs more young people out cruising and less corporate trained greed monsters, but here they are, they buy a cat secondhand that has already been sailed thousands of miles from its place of build, they have it surveyed by a proper surveyor, they admit they know vey little, they go off sailing a whole bunch more miles, and then one day they find there are problems, big ones, and they go after the manufacturer-who is thousands of miles away and hasn't heard a peep about this boat for a couple years-and demand that he "stand behind his product" Ah, sorry there, the warranty has long expired, is non-transferable, you had it surveyed and you're telling me some guy in NZ says what? Gee, in efforts to be good guys we offer you to either come back to the factory or here's 2 grand and have a nice day. What other businessman that is getting incredibly rich building boats of course, would do otheriwse than try to be nice and say go pound sand?!?! They are admittedly clueless but a little pricky if you ask me-take your lumps and carry on sailing...,BTW are those cats just total pieces of shit or what?
