Dear Mr. W.

I am afraid I can only provide second hand information about Aegeanmarine, from sources believed to be reliable, but that I can not personally guaranty.

As far as I know, they did have similar problems with the designer and spent lots of money to re-calculate the boat. Race results indicate that they were technically succesfull.
My advice is to make a thorough due diligence prior to buying a boat from small shipyards. Check their financial situation, contact previous owners, etc. Do not rely on magazines, they have their own interests to protect.

Good luck,
Luiz
