I recently got a survey done last week and all was very good. The hull sounded good,no blistering... Over all good.the only issue I see from survey is the mixture readings. He stated starboard side 50% and port side 100%. When he was doing it he mentioned the reading on port side was off scale. What does off scale mean. I'm assuming he had a bar graph meter and and all LEDs were lit.
I read an interesting article by Practical sailor about how something like 40% of surveyors don't know how to read or interpret the readings or use one. It states meters can read and give you a percentage number or a bar graph. When he said off scale and not a percentage im wondering what is off scale? Is he saying off scale is 100% humidity? Or his met Dr can only measure lets say 50% so full scale must mean 100%. Also I worked 30 years a biomedical engineer for phyzer and Johnson &. Johnson and we had at least 50 different meters which all had to be recertified each year and provide hospitals which the calibration certificate if they requested it. Do you know if this is a requirement for surveyors. I'm seeking the sailboat and this worries me that I will not be able to sell it.
Any help would be appreciated
