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 composite fiberglass sailing vessel equipped with a diesel engine and two diesel generators.  The vessel was built in Auckland, New Zealand.  The vessel was designed by Bill Langen.  The client purchased the vessel in July 2017 in San Diego.  He stated that he replaced the 6Kw generator in 2018 with a new unit.  Among other upgrades are a new tender in 2018 (not aboard), a new head sail in 2018, new main sail in 2020 and a new stay sail in 2020.  The mast and rigging was serviced and rigging was replaced by Rig Pro and Hinckley in 2019.  Batteries were replaced in 2020.  The vessel was inspected while afloat and a haul out inspection is pending.  We test operated the engine and the large generator.  We tested numerous components including navigational electronics, hydraulic bow thruster and hydraulic windlass (briefly).  The vessel is basically structurally sound.  The vessel exhibits normal signs of age and wear typical for this vintage vessel.  The vessel appears suitable for use as a near 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.

 

 

 

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 2001 86’ Boat Speed sloop asking $2,500,000 is a good comparable, the listing states it was refit in 2012 and new decks and other major service in 2016.  The 2003 80’ Chuck Payne / Kelly Archer aluminum ketch asking $2,600,000 is also a good comparable, it lists a major refit in 2013 and very similar recent upgrades to the surveyed vessel.  The 2001 80 Kantor asking $1,087,800 is an aluminum that that seems to be in similar condition, as described on the listing.  The best sold comp is the 1988 90’ Holland Jachtbouw that sold for $869,940 in February 2022.  It is also an aluminum vessel, the listing states it is “now in need of a new owner to bring the yacht back to yacht show condition”.  The market continues to have an upward value movement due to the extended Covid-19 induced demand spike.  The most significant factors in the valuation are the size, maintenance, age and condition.  While the vessel is actively and well maintained and has had significant recent upgrades, it does have normal age related damage and wear.

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 fixed and portable fire extinguishers per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.
  2. Assure the vessel has all legally required carriage items including approved and current distress signal flares and waste management plan.
  3. Maintain the life rafts per the manufacturer’s recommendations.  They were last inspected in 2018.
  4. Maintain the EPIRB per the manufacturer’s recommendations.  The hydrostatic release and registration has expired.
  5. The vessel has a two wire AC electrical system which does not include a ground, consider upgrading or modifying.  The vessel was built in this manner as and it is fairly common distribution system for much of the world, but is not the U.S. standard.  There is a GFCI outlet aboard, it did not trip and will not trip in the current two wire system.
  6. Properly secure the propane tank to prevent movement.
  7. There is an exhaust leak at an insulated junction for the main engine, eliminate the leak.

 

 SECONDARY

  1. There were loose wires between the engine and HVAC chiller system, the client stated this is for a fan which has been removed.  Either remove the wires or assure they are deenergized.
  2. There is staining on an exhaust water connection for the discharge water into the engine exhaust and some staining at the top of the vented loop.  Eliminate the leak, remove stains and corrosion on and below this connection to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
  3. The client stated that the water maker needed work, address appropriately.
  4. The generators share an exhaust discharge fitting, this can cause challenges and is not ideal.  Consider modification.
  5. The transformer felt more warm than normal, determine the significance and address appropriately.
  6. There are numerous cosmetic issues and normal wear, the teak decks are thin, various headliner issues,  there is various paint and coatings issues on the hull sides, transom and cabin top.  Address as desired.
  7. There is salt build up at a hose connection on top of the forward of two black / grey water tanks in the aft bilge.  Eliminate the cause and remove salt crystals to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
  8. The client stated that speakers have been removed, address the stereo system as desired.
  9. There is moderate corrosion and salt crystals on several of the engine coolant components, specifically at hose connections on the port side, service the engine’s cooling system appropriately.
  10. The following components were not tested or inspected: small generator, all lights mounted on the mast including navigational and anchor lights, water maker, abandon ship kits, all functions of entertainment devices and all functions of navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).

 

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. I/we have no present or prospective interest in the vessel that is the subject of this report, and I/we have no personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved.  My/our compensation is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event.  I/we have made a personal inspection of the vessel that is the subject of this report.  This report should be considered as an entire document.  No single section is meant to be used except as part of the whole.  This report is submitted without prejudice and for the benefit of whom it may concern.  This report does not constitute a warranty, either expressed, or implied, nor does it warrant the future condition of the vessel. 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”.
