SUMMARY

 

The vessel is a molded fiberglass ketch rigged sailboat equipped with a single diesel engine and a generator.  The vessel was designed by William Shaw and built in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.  The current owner reported he purchased the vessel in Houston, Texas in 2000.  He reported the bottom paint is 7 months old.  He reported he does not know the age of the standing rigging but that he replaced 1 or 2 shrouds and the chain plates.  He reported that the engine was replaced in 2016 with a Beta Marine 60 and the transmission was rebuilt and an adapter was added to couple the v-drive.  He reported that lighting struck another vessel several years ago and knocked out all the electronics which were then replaced in an insurance claim.  He reported that the wind indicator might need to be replaced and he had no other disclosures.  The vessel was inspected while hauled, afloat and underway on a sea trial in San Diego Bay.  The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as a coastal cruising vessel.

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.  For instance, items that pose a risk to passenger safety or immediate property damage are listed under primary deficiencies and cosmetic concerns are addressed under secondary deficiencies.  Most of the recommendations have been addressed in the comments and usually they are discussed at the time of the inspection.

 

PRIMARY

 

  1. Maintain the fire extinguishers per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.
  2. While the vessel is equipped with a handheld SOS strobe and is legally compliant with the coast guard for night use, a suitable daytime distress signal is required.  We strongly recommend the carriage of federally approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. The standing rigging is believed to be greater than 20 years old.  The rigging surveyor recommended that the backstay on the main mast be replaced as soon as possible, however the rigging report is reportedly a “light” report.  We strongly recommend following the recommendations of the rigging surveyor.
  4. The internal sea strainers have corrosion and salt crystals on them and there is a weep on the engine and generator’s sea strainers.  Determine the significance and the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean sea strainers to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  5. The fuel fill hose is dated 1979 and we did not see dates on the vent or return hoses.  The industry accepted life expectancy “rule of thumb” for fuel hoses is 10 years.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use and replace as necessary.
  6. Properly label the circuit breaker next to the “electric toilet” circuit breaker for the light on the mizzen mast and prove the light properly functional.
  7. The port forward GFCI outlet did not trip when tested and the GFCI outlet in the aft head tripped with the starboard forward outlet but not when the outlet itself was tested.  Determine the cause of the failure to trip and address appropriately.
  8. Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  9. The carbon monoxide alarm energizes with the circuit breaker labeled “stereo”.  We recommend having the carbon monoxide alarm installed in a way that does not required it to be manually energized.
  10. We strongly recommend the installation of smoke alarms.
  11. The man overboard pole is degraded, address as desired.
  12. Install a retaining wire in the anchor shackle of the West Marine anchor.
  13. Install cotter pins in the turn buckles that are missing pins.
  14. Service (or replace) and clean the through hulls and valves and prove them properly functional.
  15. Determine why the engine started while in reverse gear and address appropriately.
  16. Properly label the port amidships water fill fitting.

 

 

SECONDARY

 

  1. There is staining and corrosion on the hose for the refrigerator pump.  Determine the cause of the staining and corrosion and address appropriately.
  2. The head can use either fresh or salt water.  Assure the system is properly plumbed to prevent the mixing of salt water into the freshwater system.
  3. There is corrosion on the washdown through hull and pump.  Determine the significance and cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service the through hull and pump as necessary and clean the components to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  4. The exhaust discharge hose for the engine is cracked, either replace the hose or monitor and replace.
  5. Service the light on the mizzen mast and prove it properly functional.
  6. There was no response on the SEA156 vhf when tested on channel 27.  The owner reported there is no antenna and that it is a redundant radio.  Address as desired.
  7. Determine the cause of the corrosion on the saltwater hose connection by the head, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the connections to allow detections of future weeps or leaks.
  8. Determine the significance and cause of the staining on and below the holding tank and address appropriately.  There is limited access to the tank.
  9. Service the ignitor on the range and prove it functional as desired.
  10. The deck around the base of the steering pedestal flexes under foot, address as necessary or desired.
  11. Address the numerous blisters on the hull bottom as necessary or desired.
  12. Address the damaged vinyl boot stripe and gelcoat boot stripe as desired.
  13. Address the spider cracks in the gelcoat on the starboard hull side forward at the second from forward stanchion post approximately 10 ” above the boot stripe as desired.
  14. Address the cracked foredeck hatches as desired.
  15. Address the port lights that are crazed as desired.
  16. Properly secure the loose pedestal stanchion base.
  17. The following components were not tested or inspected: satellite phone, SSB, autopilot remote, sails that are not aboard, all functions of entertainment electronics and all functions of navigational electronics (basic power up and functions were tested).
