| Overview | On the live Westerly Fulmar 32 card the body already names **Ed Dubois**, the British yard and **fin** and **twin** options, and the chips hold **9.73 × 3.33** and **1979-1991**. | Oiled teak, the familiar Hallberg-Rassy HR 36 name, a newer plotter - and you already want to believe the boat is ready for July. |
| Typical issues | We do not carry FAQ SEK bands as SSOT (**Gap**); we close Best-for twin-only and the chips cut at **1991** while history/registers run to **1992**. | Q: Is the HR 36 name in the ad headline enough? A: No. Look at how the stern is built in the photos and whether a hull number is listed; do not trust a length figure alone. Length in the headline is marketing shorthand, not a series proof. Q: Does osmosis risk remain? A: Osmosis is moisture that lifts blisters under the outer plastic skin. |
