Comments: The vessel was inspected while hauled. The vessel was launched following the completion of the survey, it was not fully afloat upon the departure of the undersigned surveyor. The vessel was not inspected while afloat. The hull bottom was visually inspected. The shipyard recently installed over one hundred doublers on the hull bottom. An ultrasonic inspection was performed of the hull bottom plates, it was not reviewed by the undersigned surveyor (the report was in Spanish). The doublers were reportedly installed in areas where the plates were thin. The shipyard reports that these areas were mostly in the areas of internal sinks and tanks. There are several dents in the hull bottom and concavity about several of the blocks. The hull bottom was painted while the vessel was hauled and 42 new zinc anodes were installed. Overall the hull bottom is in satisfactory condition. The hull sides were visually inspected. The vessel has had an aquatic deck installed on the stern. The aquatic deck was installed at the shipyard where the vessel is currently located. The hull sides have been painted during this haul out. There is corrosion on the interior hull plating on both sides aft in the forward lower level dry storage area (with the walk in refrigeration units). There is a splash zone about a plugged through hull to port aft in this area. There are corroded frame ends aft in this area. There is rust weeping from several locations through the starboard forward bulkhead in this area. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected. The deck and superstructure are in satisfactory structural and satisfactory – marginal cosmetic condition. The paint is failing from the exterior of the pilothouse. There is corrosion of the amidships bulwarks on both sides, at the main deck level. The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected and most hatches were opened and closed. We did not open and close the port lights. The indoor / outdoor carpet has been removed from the aft portion of the upper deck, new carpet is pending installation. The aft ends of the pilothouse top safety rail are not secure. The type of glass used in deck windbreaks, doors and sliding doors (aft in the main saloon) is beyond the scope of this survey. Several of the port lights are cracked. The storm covers for the port lights in the main dining area are not installed. Many of the port lights’ storm covers are supported with sticks, and have no permanent means to secure them in the open position. The deck drain grates are loose on both sides of the main deck amidships. Structural reinforcements including frames, longitudinals and bulkheads were visually inspected. Overall the structural reinforcements are in “as built” condition. Tank walls visible below the lazarette bilge have significant flaking and metal corrosion. Large pieces of iron oxide are falling into the tank. There has been prior water accumulation in the anchor chain locker, there is visible corrosion to the surface and to the chain. There is corrosion in the aft bilge, below the aft end of the propeller shaft. The bilge is holding moderate water, debris and sludge. The interior cabin spaces appear neat, clean and orderly. The interior of the vessel is in satisfactory cosmetic condition. The carpet throughout the vessel is wrinkled and not taught. There is moisture and mold in the locker in cabin #16 (all cabins are numbered). There is a crack in the mirror in the gym. There is broken glass aft in the male crew quarters, between two aft upper bunks. All of the lockers in the officer’s cabins were locked and were not opened. Many of the stairwells and some of the ladders have no grab rails. The client has reconfigured and refinished the interior of the vessel during his ownership. While the age of the interior finishes is not known, none of the components have been used and they are in like new condition. This survey is not a mould inspection. The vessel was reportedly built and maintained to Bureau Veritas Society classification standards and was reportedly maintained in class until 1983.

External surfaces and peripheral components of the engine appear satisfactory – good. The engine controls were not tested. The engine is controlled in the engine room, with an electric command system between the pilothouse and engine room. The engine is a direct drive with no transmission and thus needs to be stopped and restarted in reverse direction to change the rotational direction of the propeller. The engine has an air start system and a large capacity for compressed air. The engine is cooled with electric sea water and fresh water pumps located forward of the engine. There is corrosion visible on three of the pumps. The heat exchangers for the engine and generators are located to starboard in the engine room. There is surface corrosion on the cooling tubes, and rust weeping from plumbing junctions and valves. The client reports that the engine manufacturer removed the heads and inspected the top of the pistons and the cylinders since he purchased the vessel; he reports that the components are in good condition and the engine is properly functional. The engineer reports that the engine is lubricated every 8 days and the engine is test operated every month or two. The tag on the engine states “Jugo Registrar BROJ L – 1702” and “Bureau Veritas BVN131.954-D-7” with an apparent date stamp of “28.5.59”. The engine and generators have dry exhaust systems, the systems are properly arranged and installed. We did not observe any of the engines functioning. The propulsion components including the propeller, propeller shaft, stern tube, shaft seal and pillow bearings were visually inspected. Overall the propulsion components are in satisfactory – good condition. There is an unknown coating on the aft end of the propeller shaft (internal). The purpose of this coating is unknown. The steering system was visually inspected only. The steering system was not tested. Where visible the steering system appears satisfactory – good.

SUMMARY
The vessel is a steel motor vessel reportedly built in Kraljeviei, Yugoslavia for President Tito as his private yacht. The vessel is currently equipped with the original directed drive diesel engine. The vessel was reportedly purchased by the British government and used as a training ship until 1980. It is reported that the main engine, shaft and bearings were overhauled at that time in Singapore. The vessel reportedly passed out of class (Bureau Veritas) in 1983 and was sold. Subsequently the vessel was seized by the US Marshalls and the client purchased the vessel in 1992. The vessel was delivered from Seattle to Ensenada, Mexico following purchase and the vessel has remained in Ensenada since then. The client has reconfigured the interior and, over twenty years, has accomplished most of a “refit”. The vessel is currently laid out as a passenger vessel. All cabins include in-suite heads. The layout is typical of small passenger vessels with separate crew quarters, galley and dining area. The layout includes two saloons with bars, passenger dining area, dance floor, incidental shop and beauty saloon. There are officers quarters aft of the pilothouse, a penthouse suite aft of the officers’ quarters and a purser’s office. The vessel is basically structurally sound. The engine is a direct drive, with no transmission, this will create operational challenges, specifically docking and undocking. The significant tankage allows for great range. The vessel is not currently suitable for use but upon completion of the electrical projects underway, recommendations and successful sea trials, the vessel should be suitable as a passenger carrying vessel.
The vessel has been in the state of restoration since the current owner purchased the vessel in 1992. The vessel has not left the harbor of Ensenada, Mexico since it arrived there in 1992. The client has a crew of four attend to the vessel, including an engineer and a carpenter. The client attends the vessel regularly and stays aboard the vessel during the visits.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory
VALUES
ACTUAL CASH VALUE –
NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE –
INVESTMENT – N/A
The actual cash value is the value that our research approximates the selling price of this vessel should be, at the time and place of our inspection. Consideration is given to vessel’s condition, geographic location, published listings and guides, comparable sales and listings, and market conditions. The new replacement value is the cost of this or a similar, new vessel, comparably equipped. The investment is the reported investment including purchase price and significant upgrades. No values include maintenance costs, storage or tax. In most instances the data found while researching the value is stored in our file for this survey. We primarily use market value analysis methodology for determination of value.
Standard Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance, ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.
RECOMMENDATIONS
These recommendations are the surveyor’s ideas and suggestions for addressing deficiencies with damaged or suspect components or systems found during survey or general improvements. The primary recommendations address safety items, structural issues, operational issues or deficiencies which the surveyor determines are of greater importance or more expense than secondary deficiencies.
