This exchange has been instructive to me. I now better understand why the head of a major NYSE listed company had two separate contracts with a perfectly reputable PNW firm. One contract had to do with the complex financing for the yacht and the inevitable Delaware corporation. The other dealt with great specificity about the construction and equipment.
One member of the T&T List shared the hardware and specifications portions of his contract with the public via a website. The level of detail was intimidating and, again, with a well-known reliable yard. But, if you want certain things in your boat, you have to have an agreement with your builder. Likewise, years ago, the Dashews put their specifications for their next sailboat on the web and, again, the detail was incredible.
This implies two things: you know what you want and you'll recognize it when you see it. More importantly, both you and the builder should know the proper way to install it. On this list and the T&T list we have owners of highly complex yachts who run them by themselves. Personally, some of their systems are too complex for me - but, via a contract, a mutual agreement, they got what they wanted in detail.
No legal document will produce quality. A contract can put a builder on notice that you know what they are capable of producing and that is what you want. Nothing replaces a good, well-managed company with a skilled labor force. Nothing.
