The mainsheet block in the cockpit is a nuisance; the tiller should be able to be folded up. From the second reef, the mainsail can only be hoisted with force, and the lid for the cooler should be lockable.

There is visible mold on the sides of the mess.

Lot problems with boat. If exclude boat out, then trip is ok and I would come again to sailing to Croatia, but with better boat. This sailboat includes many small problems. During a check in were found 15 claims and during sailing were found 18 claim/problems. Some problems can cause dangerous situation on some conditions. So many problems that a risk is big that you must interrupted the trip by boat failure or you must do fixing of boat during your trip or you sailing is stop and you must drive with engine. You can sail with boat, but in many points, you have to battle with some thinks. It is not nice to sail when thinks do not work well and afraid when next failure come. Many same claims were posted early by other customer, but not fixed. Perhaps rental company does not want to fix problems or they do not understand how sail boat would maintenance and do not understand when things are ok and when those need repair. Claims During Check in: 1. Strong smell come from toilet (no sept tank, where the smell come?) 2. Windex failure and wrong position 3. Reserve diesel empty. For returning this is demand to be full. 4. Dingy fuel canister only half fillet, for returning this is demand to be full. 5. Dingy little empty, is dingy, ok? Pump air to dingy and now seem be ok, this after 24 h 6. Tell tales of main sail missing 7. USB, only one of two works 8. Small service Battery, capacity 85 Ah fridge take on 5 A on cooling 3A to keep temp —> 28 h max, other things take also so not can use fridge if night without electricity. Practical not can bay cold stored things for many days if not every day on marina with electricity or use lot engine. 9. Anchor rope too sort only 30 m, it should be 50 m. 10. Reserve anchor rope is too short. 11. Reserve engine oil missing 12. Also reserve engine cooling liquid is missing 13. Fridge temperature sensor is not fixed to anything 14. Sea map protection cover is broken 15. No life line on deck.(jack stay) Claims/problems during sailing: 1. Lift up main sail need much power, all is not ok. Upper 1/3 part need much force. 2. Get down the main sail need force. This can cause dangerous situation if you must take mainsail to down on small place, you cannot get the mainsail quickly to down. 3. Condition of service battery: 12,5 v -> 11,9 V (11,5V almost empty) during 24 h with only navigation equipment and auto pilot. 4. USB one what work, it have some connection problems, the right position should be find. 5. Fixing point of autopilot is loos all most drop down. Repair this self. Must fix several time during trip. 6. Steering is heavy. “Self locking”. Can stay self and not move anywhere. For good sailing sensitive, it is too heavy. End of sailing not so heavy but still too heavy, not can feel rubber pressure. 7. Speed sensor not work. 8. Main sheet rope is almost cut 9. Water leaks into the bilge and think come wetting in storage under salon seat 10. Chart plotter in side. This in no practical way, this is almost as without chart plotter. 11. Power supply output of autopilot is not reasonable place, big risk to break it. 12. Rear rail, difficult to disconnect and reconnect in warm weather, need force. 13. Bow hatch leaks a little. 14. Dingy must refill regularly. 15. the propeller rattles when the speed is over 5 miles speed with sails. 16. large flash in the propeller shaft bearing. 17. Outboard engine of dingy not work well, hard to find right position of throttle and engine screeching that the outboard engine stay running. 18. Anchor, too small, not good holding. I can’t rust for anchor. How the Boataround would get thinks better, it would be to improve the information of baot real conditions, but this is hard to the Boataround, it is hard to get real and reliable information from the boat conditions. Rental company perhaps do not like to give real information...
