| Current owner: Removed for privacy | Our file #: 21 – 20243web |
This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on September 21, 2021 while the vessel was hauled and afloat at The Boatyard, Marina del Rey, CA and XXX (owner), XXX (client) XXX (broker) and Kells Christian (surveyor) 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.

SUMMARY
The vessel is a composite fiberglass Catamaran sailing vessel equipped with two diesel engines and sail drives. The vessel was built in La Grande Motte, France to a Barreau/Neuman design. The current owner purchased the vessel new and took delivery at the factory. He stated that the vessel was sailed to Fort Lauderdale, FL and came to the West Coast of the United States in 2016. Since arrival the vessel has mainly been used to and from Catalina. The current owner reports that the engines were replaced in late 2018 and he installed the external freezer. He stated that most of the other components are original. He disclosed that the water maker is pickled and later he disclosed that the diesel heater was never connected or functional. The current owner disclosed no knowledge of any significant events in the vessel’s history such as submersions, collisions, fires, etc. He was unsure of the cause of the damage to the starboard bow. The vessel was inspected while afloat, underway offshore Los Angeles and while hauled. The vessel is basically structurally sound. The vessel is mostly stock with very little additions. The vessel is suitable for its intended purpose as a coastal cruising vessel and potentially as a blue water cruising vessel.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory – 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.

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. The most relevant data found while researching the value is included below. We primarily use market value analysis methodology for determination of value.
Explanation of value opinion: The value is based on the soldboats.com reported sale prices and the yachtworld.com list prices below. The owner’s asking price (also below) is in line with the asking prices of comparable boats. The Outremer line is limited in production, compared to the catamarans commonly used in charter and several of the listings include those vessels, which are less valuable, thus there are fewer comps. The best comp is the 2015 vessel that sold in Annapolis in August 2020 for $700,000. That vessel is comparably equipped and has HVAC, but the market has continued to rise due to the Covid-19 induced demand.

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
- Provide all legally required carriage items including federally approved extinguishers, personal flotation devices and distress signal flares. Also required are oil and garbage placards and a waste management plan.
- Provide a secondary anchor and rode for use in two anchor situations or emergencies.
- Maintain the EPIRB per the manufacturer’s recommendations, the battery and the hydrostatic release have expired.
- The last three digits of the HIN does not follow US format, address as necessary.
- We encourage installation of smoke, carbon monoxide and propane alarms, particularly in conjunction with the propane system and in compliance with ABYC recommendations.
- We encourage the installation of an electric solenoid valve in the propane system to allow the flow to be shut off from the galley and to comply with ABYC and NFPA recommendations.
- Remove the small propane canister from the galley cabinet, store propane in the propane locker and secure the portable bottles.
- A filter on the starboard engine was dated 8/10/19, assure the engines and sail drives are maintained appropriately.
- There are various problems with the propellers, including corrosion and pitting on the starboard propeller, play between the propeller blades and the hubs and play between the propellers and the propeller shafts. Have these components inspected by a qualified technician and repair or replace as necessary.
- The starboard engine overheated and alarmed during the sea trial, assure that the condition causing the overheating is eliminated and that there was no damage or address appropriately.
- The starboard head was not drawing water, address it and prove it properly functional.
- Properly secure the small portable plastic diesel tank. This is apparently for the diesel heater and the diesel heater is inoperative. Either prove the diesel heater functional and utilize the heater or eliminate liabilities such as the fuel supply to the heater.
- There is corrosion on several through hulls in the bilge, remove corrosion, inspect, service or replace components as necessary. Through hulls with corrosion include: port sail drive, both waste discharge through hulls, refrigeration cooling through hull and both head inlets.
- There are salt crystals on a valve that junctions with the port head seawater supply and the valve is unsecured. Eliminate the source of the salt crystals, remove the salt crystals to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks and secure the valve. Assure that all the components use materials designed and intended for this application including barbed hose connections and suitable material, replace if/as necessary.
- Cover the batteries in the engine to prevent accidental short circuiting. Comply with ABYC recommendations.
- Service and prove the port engine room light reliably functional, it functioned intermittently.
- There was either reversed polarity or an open ground at all of the AC electrical outlets that were tested. Assure that the outlets and the electrical system are properly wired to American standards with both the shore power and inverter. Assure the vessel has suitable GFCI or ELCI protection per ABYC recommendations.
- The Mastervolt controller at the chart table is inoperative, service or replace it and prove it properly functional (the current owner ordered one of these units during the survey).
- Properly secure the unsecured battery charger to port below the interior bridge deck dinette seat.
SECONDARY
- Service and prove the light in the starboard refrigerator properly functional, it did not illuminate.
- We did not and could not release a ratchet strap on a battery to starboard of the battery bank below the interior bridge deck dinette seat, modify so that this device can be released, inspect the battery and cables and address any deficiencies.
- We did not inspect any of the DC overcurrent protection devices, they are reportedly located in several different locations, inspect and maintain these components as a matter of normal maintenance.
- The multi-function device has no sounder. It does have a fathometer, upgrade if / as desired.
- One of the battery cables on the starboard engine room battery has exposed conductors at the terminals, improve the installation of the terminal ends so they cover the conductors and comply with ABYC recommendations.
- There is trace water aft of the port engine, determine the source, eliminate the source and remove the water to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- There is corrosion at and about the port sail drive’s through hull fitting, eliminate any existing cause, address corrosion, clean and paint as appropriate to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- There is minor corrosion of the sail drive housings at the water inlets, address appropriately.
- There are no engine instruments for oil pressure, temperature or volts, consider upgrading.
- The engines turned to 2,750 rpms at wide open throttle, however the wide open throttle test was only performed momentarily and the current owner decreased the rpms. Assure that the engines turn to the designed wide open throttle specifications and address any deviation and assure they can run at that speed with no issues.
- There are stains below plumbing fittings on the water heater, eliminate the source, remove stains to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- The starboard waste Y valve is marked “backwards”, address appropriately.
- The port head pump leaks at the valve seal, eliminate the leak as desired or as necessary.
- There is water on top of the water tank, eliminate the cause and remove the water to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- We did not inspect all of the fuel hoses and the hoses that were seen are not labeled per US convention. Monitor hoses and address deficiencies as desired or as necessary.
- The port engine controls felt more stiff than the starboard side, either address or monitor and address as necessary.
- There is corrosion on the port sail drive control cable bracket, eliminate any source, repair if / as necessary, clean and paint to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- There is corrosion below the starboard engine aft, including about the sail drive sealing ring, address appropriately.
- Determine the function of the various seawater hoses which have unknown functions including the hose connected to the refrigeration through hull and the two hoses “junctioned” into the head supplies, eliminate any liabilities associated with these components after their usage is determined and remote components are inspected.
- The port transom grab rail has a small dent, address as desired.
- The plastic vent covers for both engine rooms inboard aft on both hull sides are damaged, address as desired. These vents will help prevent water entry into the engine rooms.
- There are color differences on the hull sides below the stanchions, apparently and reportedly due to fenders, the hull sides are oxidized, address these conditions as desired, they appear to be cosmetic in nature.
- There is a 6” rectangular color difference on the starboard hull side aft below the name, the cause is unknown, this appears to be cosmetic, address as desired.
- There is a “rough” repair up high on the starboard bow and an unrepaired small gouge through the gelcoat on the starboard bow below the waterline, address these conditions as necessary or as desired.
- There is minor coatings failure about the helm, address as desired.
- There is age related damage (apparently) to the sealant and bedding material on the cabin side windows, address appropriately.
- There is corrosion on the martingale bow stay fixture, address appropriately.
- We did not see or test the all-around / anchor light or any other light fixtures on top of the mast, inspect, prove them properly functional or address deficiencies.
- The running rigging and related hardware was “stiff”, service and prove it properly functional.
- The following components were not tested or inspected: water maker, through hull camera, 50 Hz electrical system, small spigot in the port head (reportedly for water maker), anchor light, automatic functions of the bilge pumps, televisions and all functions of entertainment devices, all functions of navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).
