| Client: Removed for privacy | Date of report: May 11, 2021 |
| Current owner: removed for privacy | Our file #: 21 – 20070web |
This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on March 30, 2021 while it was hauled at Marine Group Boatworks, National City, CA and May 6, 2021 while the vessel was afloat in Pier 32 Marina slip 208, National City, CA and underway in San Diego Bay, San Diego, CA and XXXX and XXXX (brokers), the client and XXXX (captain) attended. The current owner briefly attended.
Scope of Services
The vessel was examined by surveyor and/or surveyor’s agents from all accessible areas of the interior without removal of secured panels, destructive testing or disassembly. The hull bottom laminate, plating and/or planking was examined by percussion sounding and visual inspection only. No moisture content readings were taken, and no destructive testing was performed. The surveyor may have used a moisture meter if/when they deemed it useful or if specifically requested by client. Exterior hardware was visually examined for damage and drive components were tested by sight only. The inspection of engines, generators, machinery and related mechanical systems is not within the scope of this survey. Only a brief cursory inspection of the machinery was conducted, and no opinion of their overall condition was formed. Client shall retain the services of a qualified mechanic, engine surveyor or other expert to inspect such engine, generators, machinery and related mechanical systems. Tankage was inspected from visible surfaces only and no opinion was rendered as to their overall condition. On sailing vessels, the rig was not inspected aloft, nor were sails inspected unless they were visible during a sea trial. Client shall retain the services of a qualified rig surveyor or other expert to inspect sails, rigging and equipment. The electrical system was visually inspected where accessible, and electronic and electrical components powered only with permission of or in the presence of the vessel’s owner or agent. No in-depth testing or examination of the electrical system or electric schematic was conducted. Specifications were taken from published sources, measurements if made, should be considered approximate. The recommendations are based on federal and state regulations, industry standards, and/or surveyor’s own personal experience. The market value is based on research of available new/used comparable vessels, with consideration of geographic area where the vessel is located and reported sale prices where available. The surveyor will refer to and may reference CFRs, NFPA and ABYC recommendations (and/or other services) as the surveyor deems reasonable but not all regulations and recommendations will be applied nor should this report be relied upon as full compliance with the aforementioned entities. Every vessel inspection is different, and limitations may alter the scope of this survey, some limitations will be implied in the text of the report and some will be explicitly detailed. A Marine Survey Agreement which is reviewed and signed by the client details the terms governing this marine survey.

| 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 satisfactory – good structural condition. We noted three 1” blisters on the port side of the rudder, and a few smaller blisters. There was lateral “play” between the rudder post and the tube. The anti-fouling paint was failing in areas, some of which did not exhibit primer. We did see primer at several areas where paint failed near the waterline. There is black growth about several of the through hulls. The keel is apparently lead and the paint is thin on the keel. There is some pitting visible on the metal stern tube, most of it is covered by a zinc anode. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull sides and transom are in good structural and satisfactory cosmetic condition. The blue hull paint is reportedly 13 years old. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The deck and superstructure are in good structural and cosmetic condition. There is a small void visible to port forward in the cockpit. There was minor staining by the bimini bows’ bases. There was discoloration about the windows forward of the windshield. We heard a small void when percussion testing just forward of the aft waste deck fitting. There were small gelcoat cracks in the deck near the aft end of the port traveler track. There is a small knick on the starboard aft deck vent cowling base. 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 condition. There was wet varnish on many of the wooden components upon our arrival to the vessel for the in water portion of the survey, the varnish was less tacky near the end of the day. The large deck hatches are crazed by their hinges. The strut is disconnected from the port anchor rode locker hatch. A small cover for a satellite audio / video component is detached from its hinge and temporarily reinstalled to port of the companionway. The structural reinforcements including the longitudinals, bulkheads and liner were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition. The bilge is holding moderate water, the water is covering the keel bolts. The source of the water is beyond the scope of this survey and there is staining in the bilge. The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly. The interior of the vessel is in good cosmetic condition. The aft cabin door handle appears to be bent. The galley carpet was wet. We did not see the documentation number displayed. The insulation is loose in the engine room. The condition of the tender is beyond the scope of this inspection, the upholstery is sun damaged and the HIN is difficult to read. This survey is not a mould inspection. The condition of the coring, in the hull, deck and elsewhere as applicable is beyond the scope of this inspection. |

The through hulls were visually inspected and the valves were manipulated. The through hulls are in satisfactory condition, however many exhibit salt crystals and corrosion (in the bilge). There were no labels on the through hulls, many of the through hulls located externally were not found internally. As the exterior and interior inspections were performed at different times we could not correlation the location of through hulls externally and internally. There are salt crystals on several of the through hulls forward of the engine. The aft waste through hull and valve exhibit corrosion. The aft HVAC through hull is corroded. There is corrosion on the galley sink through hull. One of the through hulls forward of the engine has its valve handle disconnected, another has no valve handle and no hose connected. The condition of the bonding system is beyond the scope of this survey. The seawater systems were visually inspected and most components were tested. Overall, the seawater systems are satisfactory. The aft HVAC primary sea water hose exhibits cracks. There was a leak from a strainer fitting serving the diaphragm bilge pump. The submersible bilge pump was energized with its float switch, the diaphragm bilge pump was energized with a toggle switch, both pumped water. The manual bilge pump was manipulated and appeared to function normally but was not well tested. |
| Summary: Satisfactory – Good |

The captain reported that the batteries are vintage December 2015. The wine cooler is reportedly inoperative. We found water in the icemaker outside of the bucket upon opening it. The chart plotter is original and the chart indicates the vessel is in a lot where the current marina was built (outdated). The cockpit table refrigerator did not get cold. The cabin lights dimmed with the bow thruster. There was a report of a burned wire smell when the thruster was used, we did not smell it and we did not see the bow thruster on the interior of the vessel. The galley refrigerator and freezer were “iced over”. The vhf was apparently not functional, the cockpit microphone type vhf uses the speaker at the chart table. The chart table vhf did not function when tested on channel 27, no response was received when hailing on 16 and we heard no chatter on channel 16 during the survey. There is reverse polarity at the outlets when the inverter is supplying AC power. |

SUMMARY
The vessel is a composite fiberglass cruising sailboat equipped with a diesel inboard engine and a diesel generator. The vessel was built in St. Grilles Croix de vie, France to a Farr yacht design. The current owner is the original owner. His broker and captain report that the refrigeration system was modified and now circulates freshwater from the port water tank. The battery system was modified and upgraded. Pacific Offshore Rigging installed the self-tacking jib. The machine systems, standing rigging and sails are original. The hull was painted twice just after purchase, the first time was the wrong color. The vessel has been very lightly used. The canvas was recently replaced. The listing broker disclosed no knowledge with any problems with the vessel or any events of significance such as submersions, collisions, fires, etc. The hull bottom was inspected while hauled over a month prior to the survey. The vessel was inspected in its slip and underway. The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of recommendations on this survey, the rig survey and the mechanical survey, should be suitable for its intended purpose as a coastal cruising vessel.
Overall Summary: Good
Standard form key: We use subsection and overall ratings to summarize conditions found, based upon their appearance. Ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.
