Ha!
Alright. I get it!
Thanks everyone for all the info on the boat. I will initiate
discussions with the broker.
Given the few problems visible in the pictures and the comments from
listers I'll likely make a lower offer. See what happens.

Jeeze buy the boat and start sailing!
I tried to upload some photos via email - but they were too big, so
I've loaded all the photos at full resolution into DropBox.
Feel free to take a look and let me know what you think.

Here's the posting on YachtWorld

The boat looks quite good. Interior looks great - wood clean, chain
plates don't show any obvious sign of water intrusion, nice cushions.
(Closer zoom on one chain plate - looks rough?? Maybe not so good?)
Carpet on sole is a bit odd - it looks from one photo like there is a
teak-holly floor underneath? Maybe in need of re-finishing.
Engine and wiring look good. Engine looks brand new (was apparently
new in 2000).
Roller furler looks ancient. And looks to have a warp high up in the
foil.
Any instruments? I see the radar and the auto pilot - but what about
depth, speed, wind? There is a single box covered next to the
companionway - could that contain all?
Few sections of the outer rail look dinged up - not too bad but will
need a bit of work.
The one section of deck almost looks like its delaminating? Soft? Or
is that just bad surface crazing? Also a "crack" in upper right of
photo.
No sign of jib sheet block tracks - or am I missing something? I'd
expect a boat like this to have them.
Did you see anything concerning that I'm missing? Any specific
questions for broker?
I'm tempted to make an offer on the boat, pending a survey of course.
Thoughts on what kind of offer?

Just got a message back from the contact on SailNet.
He went to check out the boat for me today. Uploaded a ton of photos
apparently (I'll need to get home so I can check them out - I'll
post a couple if people are interested).
His comment -
The boat is really quite nice, actually amazing for a 34 year old boat!

Sounds encouraging. I'll be looking closely at the photos and will
have to decide on making an offer.
Waiting to hear back from insurance broker on insurance cost.
Of course then I have to decide how much to offer. He's asking
$15900. Looking at all the avail boats the price is at the low end
and the appearance/gear etc look excellent. Doubt I can knock a lot
off the price, but maybe try $14000??? Of course dependent on a
clear survey inc engine and rigging.
