In
50
years
of
chartering
medium
(30
-
40
feet)
this
is
the
worst.
I
strongly
advise
against
WWWind
Square
Malcesine.
At
least
their
big
yachts,
don't
know
about
their
other
craft.
1
The
31.7
Beneteau:Vanity,
(the
other
31.7
in
his
fleet
looked
as
old)
is
over
20
years
old.
That
in
itself
is
not
a
problem,
but
this
boat
is
in
bad
shape
due
to
lack
of
maintenance.
I've
owned
many
older
sailboats
and
know
what
it
takes:
lots
of
time
and
money,
no
surprise.
2.
Ex.
No
auto
pilot,
no
chart
plotter,
wind
speed
indicator
broken.
Roller
furler
jammed
on
me.
Mainsail
fell
out
of
the
mast
track
the
only
time
I
used
it.
The
keeper
for
the
mast
track
fell
off
when
I
lowered
the
main
(it
was
not
windy)
and
all
the
slugs
came
off
the
mast,
a
major
issue,
very
dangerous.
3.
The
boat
was
dirty
when
we
boarded,
as
in
dead
bugs,
slime
in
the
toilet,
a
nest
of
lines
and
sheets
in
the
cockpit,
cabin
floor
needed
sweeping.
4.
A
one
week
charter
cost
me
1,440
Euro
so
I
expect
a
decent
boat.
I'm
not
fussy.
I
have
owned
a
charter
sailboat
in
the
Caribbean.
And
I
have
chartered
all
over
the
Med,
Caribbean
and
Gulf
of
Mexico
5.
No
dodger
or
spray
hood,
no
bimini.
If
it
rains,
you
are
totally
exposed
it
you
are
under
way.
AND
there
is
no
shade
for
the
cabin
or
cockpit.
So
because
the
weather
was
warm,
it
was
28
degrees
C
in
the
cabin
at
2200
hrs.
Fine
for
a
day
sail,
but
we
were
sleeping
onboard.
6.
Sharp
metal
edges
in
the
cockpit
and
gunwale
from
stuff
that
used
to
be
(it
had
once
had
an
auto
pilot,
but
it
was
broken
for
ex.).
Both
my
wife
and
I
were
cut
and
gouged
while
underway
by
these
bits
which
would
be
easy
to
remove.
Very
dangerous.
Owner
and
his
staff
were
very
unresponsive
to
my
requests
for
any
correction
of
her
many
flaws.
7.
Finally
on
check
in
the
contact
f.
WWWind
kept
my
Passport/ID
and
the
physical
credit
card
for
the
week,
no
charter
co.
has
ever
done
that
to
me.
I
am
72
years
old,
so
not
a
criminal,
Mr.
Hermann
-
the
owner.
Enough
said,
I'd
stay
from
WWwind
unless
changes
are
made..
The
photo
is
of
the
jib
the
first
time
I
raised
and
sailed,
sail
baggy
because
the
halyard
was
not
hoisted
completely,
causing
the
sail
to
snag
on
the
life
line
when
tacking.
When
I
told
the
staff
about
it,
they
suggested
I
fix
it,
which
I
did.
No
accountability.
