We had our seal trial & survey yesterday in beautiful San Diego, and the weather goddess smiled on us. We had sun, we had warmth and we had WIND! The boat in question is a terrific example of a 1990 (laid up in 1989) Vision 32.We also had a terrific surveyor (Kells Christian) and a great learning experience for everyone. We'll get the survey today or tomorrow, but I have a couple of questions I'd like to hear other V32 owners comment on:1) Where are your batteries & how are they held down?2) Has anyone experienced a water tank leak in the middle of the aft face of the fresh water tank, several inches above the outlet connection? Looks like a baffle might be welded there...3) Does anyone have a spinnaker halyard run? Any details?4) Does the stock rigid boom vang nominally have a spring in it to lift the boom up and act as a topping lift? Has anyone replaced the spring?5) What size was the "standard" jib that came with your boat? The undated, early brochure I have located shows a hank-on 100%, while the brochure for the '92's (printed 2/92) indicates a 110% furling jib.6) How are the bases of the foreward pulpit tubes anchored to the boat?7) Has anyone moved their waterheater to a location other than centerline, below the dinette seating?8) Can the unfolded section of the table be shimmed or something to bring it up to be even with the other side and generally make the table a bit more secure feeling?9) How do you use the rope "locks" for the swim platform lockers? I don't see a cam cleat or anything to keep the line locked up in the cockpit locker.10) Has anyone replaced their stern boarding ladder due to corrosion, Etc. How much$?Thanks to everyone for their help, and be ready for more questions as we get closer to the final moment...Fair winds!
