I THINK its good news...!

The survey seems to have gone as we expected it to; its an old boat and it wasn't going to be perfect but there's no major problems. Yay! Just a few niggles with things like the gas system (which is perfectly gas-tight but uses the wrong size pipe), the inspection hatch on the diesel tank, the rudder bearing and some minor hull pitting.

The full survey documentation and valuation haven't come through yet, so we need to wait until that come through on Monday to decide how to proceed, but fingers crossed!
