关于购买二手游艇、季节维护、北欧航线与验船清单的文章，面向波罗的海买家。
购买
从北到南
2024年11月，承运人在接受 YACHT 采访时给的是参照，不是价目表。一艘10-12米、宽约3.5米的船：从波罗的海到法国略低于 10 000 欧元，到斯洛文尼亚大约 8 500。这是那个日期的一个尺寸等级。你们这艘船的账单并不从这段话里出来。

Six degrees of rise on a Seldén spreader is not thirty degrees of sweep. The same maker's B&R rig is a different angle, not a second name for six here.
Stainless 316
Stainless 316 on yachts: what the grade claims, crevice corrosion risk, and FairHelm caution on trusting magnet tests alone.
Standing rigging (sailboat)
Standing rigging on cruising sailboats: wire age, terminals, survey intervals and Nordic replacement cost context for buyers.
Storm jib
Storm jibs on sailing yachts: small heavy-weather headsails, deck fittings, and FairHelm limits on treating a furled genoa alone as a storm plan.
Stuffing box (packing gland)
A dry bilge and zero drips do not prove a stuffing box or a dripless seal is healthy. One drip rate on this page does not cover every brand of seal here.
Swedish VAT yacht
The word moms on an advert does not settle Swedish VAT on a yacht. Three months or one hundred hours is enough, and a broker stamp is not the proof here.
Teak deck (yacht decking)
Teak decks on cruising yachts: fastener corrosion, moisture under planks, survey scope and Nordic ownership cost for used-boat buyers.
Thru-hull (hull fitting)
Thru-hull fittings on yachts: what they are, how they relate to seacocks, and what FairHelm checks on used boats in Northern Europe.
Trysail
Trysails on sailing yachts: separate storm mainsails, track or lace-on setups, and FairHelm limits on treating deep mainsail reefs as a full trysail substitute.
VAT-paid status (used yacht EU)
VAT-paid status on used EU yachts: what the phrase means for buyers, paperwork risk, and Baltic brokerage practice — not tax advice.
VHF DSC
VHF DSC radios on sailing yachts: distress alerting, MMSI setup, survey checks, and FairHelm limits on treating a handset photo as proof of a working DSC path.
Watermaker
Watermakers on yachts: reverse-osmosis fresh water, power and maintenance survey points, and FairHelm limits on treating output claims as year-round fact.
Winch
Sheet and halyard winches on sailing yachts: self-tailers, service signs, survey checks, and FairHelm limits on brand-name buying logic.
Wind generator
Wind generators on yachts: charging in breeze, noise and mounting survey points, and FairHelm limits on claiming year-round amp-hours.
Wind instrument
Wind instruments on sailing yachts: masthead sensors, calibration, survey checks, and FairHelm limits on trusting stuck apparent-wind numbers.
Windlass
Six millimetres on sprocket 006 is not one chain. Two issues of the same Lewmar manual assign that sprocket to different chain standards. Not one standard.
Winterisation
Yacht winterisation in Northern Europe: systems drain and protect, survey questions, and FairHelm limits on assuming a yard sticker means full layup quality.
Winter storage afloat
Winter storage afloat for yachts: ice and freeze risks, FairHelm ownership checks, and limits on treating a southern winter as Baltic reality.
Winter storage ashore
Winter storage ashore for yachts: cradle and yard checks, FairHelm ownership notes, and limits on assuming every yard blocks the same way.
Yacht insurance
Yacht insurance for buyers and owners: what surveyors and insurers often ask, FairHelm document checks, and limits on advising cover levels.
