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 sloop-rigged sailboat equipped with a single diesel engine.  The vessel was built in Marion, South Carolina.  The client reported the vessel was purchased in an LLC in San Francisco, CA in 2018.  He reported the engine and transmission are original.  He reported the standing rigging is original.  He reported that the antifouling paint is 1.5 years old.  He reported that the previous owners upgraded the navigational electronics and replaced the portlights.  He reported that they recently replaced the anemometer.  The vessel was inspected while afloat.  The engine was briefly test operated in the slip only and no sea trial was performed.  The vessel is basically 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 – 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.

 

 

VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE INVESTMENT
Removed Removed

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 sales prices, Yachtworld.com and Sailboatlistings.com current listings below.  There were limited comparable listings in the state of California so our research was expanded.  The surveyed vessel’s navigational electronics have been upgraded.  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. Provide federally required, current and approved distress signal flares.
  3. Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  4. The HIN on the vessel is partially illegible.  Address appropriately and assure the HIN is displayed properly per federal regulations.
  5. Both 8A4D batteries are “bulging”.  Determine the significance of this condition and address appropriately.
  6. The negative terminal on the aft 8A4D battery is loose.  Properly secure it.
  7. There are smaller wires below larger on the forward 8A4D battery’s terminals.  ABYC recommends larger wires be below smaller.  Address appropriately per ABYC recommendations.
  8. Install terminal protection on the 8A4D batteries per ABYC recommendations.
  9. Provide a copy of the navigational rules and a waste management plan per federal regulations.
  10. We strongly recommend the installation of smoke alarms in the cabins and a carbon monoxide alarm in the forward cabin.
  11. Bring aboard the Certificate of Documentation per federal regulations.  We did not see it aboard.

 

SECONDARY
  1. The dates seen on fuel feed and return hoses was 07/26/00. The industry accepted standard “rule of thumb” for the life expectancy of fuel hoses is ten years.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use and replace them as necessary.
  2. There is corrosion on the engine’s raw water pump.  Determine the cause of corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the components to allow the detection of future weeps or leaks.
  3. There is debris in the Racor fuel filter.  Clean the filter bowl (and fuel) as necessary.
  4. There is a clear hose in use on the water heater that is “bulging” at the connection to the water heater.  Address appropriately or as necessary.
  5. We strongly recommend installing a hose on the water heater’s pressure relief valve that drains directly into the bilge.
  6. There is mold behind the starboard salon bench cushions.  Address as desired.
  7. The standing rigging is reportedly original.  We recommend having a rigging survey performed and to follow the recommendations of the rigging surveyor.
