RECOMMENDATIONS/FINDINGS
STRUCTURAL
There is a laminated plywood partition in the aft cockpit locker to starboard that is wet-rotted/decayed. This does not affect the overall
integrity of the hull. The partitions should be repaired/replaced.
The stress crack on the forward lip of the cockpit sole to starboard is cosmetic.
Given the multiple layers of anti-foulant paint applied over the past several seasons, the bottom will need an aggressive sanding, prep
and a new application of high grade antifoulant.
My visual inspection of the hull, deck areas and superstructure were found to be in generally good condition and visually appearing to be
structurally sound where accessible and visible at this time. Although no blistering was detected at the date of this survey report, as with
all fiberglass hulls, this could change with environment and water salinity.
MECHANICAL
Lubricated the steering system; Lubricate the engine controls; Lubricate all seacocks to operate more easily by hand.
The shaft strut rubber cutlass bearing indicated wear. Best to replace this over the 2014/2015 winter lay-up.
Double clamp the raw water intake hoses for the engine.
The engine dipstick does not fit snug into the tube. This may need to be replaced or modified.
There were no records, logs or maintenance receipts furnished to support any maintenance program for the engines, generator or related
mechanical assemblies. HAVE A FACTORY AUTHORIZED MECHANIC/DEALERSHIP SERVICE & INSPECT THESE.
My inspection and tests were conducted by external methods only. My inspection conducted at this time is intended to relay the present
visual condition of the engines, transmissions as of this date. Latent defects and internal failures will not be covered in this survey
report. Conditions of this machinery were made using visual observations only without disassembly of components.
Oil samples were drawn for oil analysis by me and tested by Advanced Research Center, Norwood, Massachusetts. Results are
incorporated into the pages of this survey report. No engine warranties as to the engine life expectancy or any accuracy of the testing lab
technicians are implied by me as many variables must be taken into consideration with such type analysis, (such as low or high engine
hours, inactivity, irregular maintenance schedule, environment, condensation, salt water presence, etc.)
ELECTRICAL
Both batteries failed load testing and both will need to be replaced. #1 @ 405 CCA and #2 @ 371 CCA.
Knot log transducer was not connected.
Wiring was inspected where accessible and visible only. Wiring was found to be in serviceable condition at this time and circuits are
protected from overload at the main electrical distribution panel(s). Opening of the electrical panel(s) or load center is not within the
scope of this survey report. Inspection of all wiring is limited to areas clearly accessible without the removal or dismantling of the wiring
looms, conduit or circuit boxes. No lightning diffusers or diverters found.
Disconnect, clean, dress and tighten all electrical wire connections and bonding wire connections to insure proper grounding. All zinc
anodes will need to be replaced.
RIGGING
Standing and running rigging was inspected from deck level. Limited inspection of the chainplates due to cabinetry; hull liners and
joinerwork. Have a reputable rigger tune and inspect the rigging prior to any cruising.
USCG SAFETY
The engine starts in gear. Fabricate a notice “ENGINE STARTS IN GEAR” and post this on the cockpit engine instrumentation panel.
Install a Carbon Monoxide/Smoke Detector with Ionization & Photoelectric Sensing Technologies in cabin/living areas.
Consider installing a high water alarm for the bilge pump.
You must have a current copy of the Navigation Rules International-Inland COMDTINST M16672.2D.
It was unclear on the date of my survey, as to what USCG SAFETY gear was included in the purchase.
Have the USCG AUXILIARY conduct the Marine Courtesy Exam and post the compliance decal.

Recommendations/findings were discussed with the party requesting this survey. This initial survey has been prepared
and submitted in good faith. It is understood and agreed, that the services rendered by Rob Scanlan, Accredited, Certified
and Registered Marine Surveyor were performed to the best of my ability. Reports submitted, either oral or in writing, are
accepted as my opinion and best judgment. These are not in any way intended as a representation or warranty as to the
condition of the vessel or any of the equipment and appurtenances. It is further understood and agreed that I will not be
held responsible for any loss or damages, direct or consequential, arising out of the condition of this vessel, or by any
error or omission on my part as the attending Marine Surveyor. Payment and use of this initial and final survey report
shall constitute acceptance of these conditions.
REMARKS: There were no indications of any deliberate abuse or neglect. If my initial recommendations/findings are
completed, this yacht would be worthy of your intention to purchase and it would be a good risk for marine insurance
underwriting.
I have agreed to return and inspect for the completion of any of my initial recommendations/findings. I can forward an
addendum to this initial survey report if requested. I reserve the right to amend, extend and amplify the contents of this
initial survey report in light of additional information or as circumstances warrant.
Compensation for follow-up inspections will be negotiated prior to my return visit.
