SUMMARY
The vessel is a passenger carrying vessel converted from a Bering Sea crab fishing vessel. More detailed survey reports are available aboard and they were briefed. They detail the conversion history including the most recent conversion in 2005. A stability booklet is also aboard which was performed in 2005/2006. The vessel has a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, one main engine and three generators. The starboard aft generator is new and its installation is incomplete. The vessel has been hauled at its current location for two years. The vessel is basically structurally sound. Upon completion of the maintenance which is underway, recommendations and successful sea trials, the vessel should be suitable for its intended purpose as a blue water expedition yacht.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory – Good
