HULL & STRUCTURE
Keel & bottom: Molded fiberglass construction, unknown core, fin keel, encased ballast, spade rudder
Topsides & transom: Molded fiberglass construction, unknown core, white gelcoat, blue boot stripe
Decks: Molded fiberglass construction, unknown core, blue non skid finish
Deck hardware: Cleat sets on bow and stern, bow pulpit and stern pulpit (1” stainless pipe), single lifeline, four stanchions, deck hatch forward of the mast
Longitudinals/stringers: Fiberglass, unknown core
Athwartships/bulkheads/frames: Plywood, interior is finished wood
Layout/interior components: Galley to starboard, settee on port, V-berth and head forward, pilot berth aft and to starboard
Bilge: Dry with only some dirt
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 marginal condition, most of the bottom paint is missing. The keel flexed side to side 3 to 4 inches (on the bottom). This flex originated at the hull to keel transition. The forward bulkhead and floor tabbing has separated from the hull. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull sides and transom are in marginal condition. The hull to deck joint along the transom is separating. The gelcoat has heavy oxidation. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The deck is in satisfactory condition. 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 is one port light on the starboard side that has a cracked lens. The structural reinforcements including the stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition. The bilge is holding no water. The interior of the vessel is in satisfactory cosmetic condition. This survey is not a mold inspection. The condition of the coring, in the deck, and elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this inspection.
