Longitudinals/stringers: Fiberglass stringers, coring unknown
Athwartships/bulkheads/frames: Plywood bulkheads
Layout/interior components: The vessel is boarded onto the aft swim platform with cabin entry from a forward located cockpit companionway. Interior arrangement has the galley to port followed by the dinette. To starboard is the navigation station followed by two built-in seats with table between and then the forward stateroom with head foremost. The master stateroom is aft with head to starboard forward.
Bilge: Oil fouled
Comments: The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat. The hull bottom and keel were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull bottom and keel are in good condition with no noticeable osmotic blisters and no significant audible differences where hammer sounded. The hull bottom anti fouling paint is failed in various areas and due for renewal. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull sides and transom are in good condition overall and gelcoat finish in satisfactory condition. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded and appear satisfactory – good condition overall. There is fiberglass separation from the starboard shrouds chain plate stand off block below the deck plate. This has been repaired with caulking that is currently separated. The area about the stand off block was hammer sounded and does not indicate any deterioration of coring. The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected and most hatches and the port lights were opened and closed. Overall the deck hardware is in satisfactory – good condition with no significant corrosion about lifeline wires or swages. Deck hatches do exhibit crazing of plexiglas. The structural reinforcements including the stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition and appear in sound condition with no delamination or fractures of fiberglass tabbings sighted. The bilge is holding minimal standing water that is oil fouled; the origin of the water is beyond the scope of this survey. The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly. The interior of the vessel is in good cosmetic condition but there are stains below the master stateroom port lights that was not determined if it is due to failed seals or not being tightly dogged down. This survey is not a mould inspection. The condition of the coring, in the stringers, deck, and elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this inspection.
