Scope of Services

 

The vessel was examined by the 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 production fiberglass cutter-rigged sailboat equipped with a single diesel engine.  The client reported that he purchased the vessel in May 2020 in Honolulu, HI.  He reported that the engine is original.  He reported that the standing rigging was replaced in 2019 and the mast was pulled at that time.  He reported that he has upgraded the batteries with lithium ion batteries and that the solar charge system was upgraded to accommodate the new batteries.  He reported that the portlights were replaced in 2019.  He disclosed that while underway from Hawaii to California in 2020, the engine died and was assisted by TowBoat US, and that the assisting vessel struck the port corner of the transom causing damage.  He reported that Marine Group Boatworks Chula Vista performed the repairs and applied Awlgrip paint on the hull sides.  The vessel was inspected while afloat.  The engine was not test operated and no sea trial was performed.  The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as a near coastal cruising and sailing vessel.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory

VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE INVESTMENT
Removed for privacy

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 sales prices and Yachtworld.com current listing prices below.  The vessel that sold in May 2020 for $45,000 in Honolulu, HI is the surveyed vessel.  There was limited data for vessels listed and sold on the West Coast so our research was expanded.  Vessels that sell on the West Coast typically hold a different value than those on the East Coast.  The best comparable vessel is the surveyed vessel which is included in the Soldboats.com data.  The values of vessels have continued to increase due to the Covid-19 induced demand; the future of the value spike is unknown.

This survey is for the express purpose of insurance and/or financing.  It is not meant as a buyer’s survey.

 

 

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.  Extinguishers should be evenly spaced throughout the vessel for easy access in emergencies.
  2. Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  3. Install batteries in the combination smoke / CO alarm and assure it is functional.
  4. The name and hailing port on the transom do not match the Travel Letter.  Assure the name and hailing port on the transom match the Certificate of Documentation per federal regulations.
  5. The HIN on the transom is illegible.  Address appropriately.
  6. We did not see the registration for the EPIRB.  Assure the EPIRB’s registration is current and apply the registration sticker onto the EPIRB.
  7. There are open sections on the electrical distribution panel.  Fill these sections to eliminate potential liabilities.
 

SECONDARY

 

  1. There is minimal corrosion on the engine’s sea strainer.  Determine the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the components to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  2. The engine’s exhaust discharge hose is cracked.  Either replace the hose or monitor and replace as necessary.
  3. There is minor play between the propeller shaft and cutlass bearing.  Determine the significance of the play and address appropriately or as necessary.

 

 

This survey sets forth the condition of the vessel and components, as specifically stated only, at the time of inspection and represents the surveyor’s honest and unbiased opinion.  No part of the vessel was disassembled or removed and no assumptions should be made as to the condition of concealed components.  Specifics were obtained from sources available at the time of inspection and are believed correct, but are not guaranteed to be accurate.

 

I/we certify that, to the best of my/our knowledge and belief:

 

The statements of fact contained in this report are true and correct. The reported analyses, opinions, and conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and limiting conditions, and are my/our personal, unbiased professional analyses, opinions, and conclusions.

It is a statement of the condition of the vessel at the time of survey only.  The submitting of this report creates no liability on the part of Christian & Company or the individual surveyor.  This survey report is not intended for use as a “buyer’s survey”.
