SUMMARY
The vessel
is a fiberglass performance cruising sailboat manufactured in
Finland to a German Frers design. The client reports that fourteen
of this model vessel were built. The vessel is equipped with
a diesel inboard engine. The client purchased the vessel in
January 2006 in Newport, Rhode Island. The vessel underwent
a 3,000-hour (reported) restoration at Jamestown Boat Yard.
Among the restoration projects was a blister repair to the hull,
rebuilt rudder, removal and replacement of tankage along with
cleaning of the bilges, replaced heads and sanitation system,
rework of freshwater plumbing system, reconfigured and/or repaired
charging system, replaced the galley stove and the entire propane
system, serviced motors, through hulls, pumps, running gear,
water maker, refrigeration systems etc… The rigging was
serviced. Carpentry work included replacement of the companionway
steps, reconfiguring the galley and miscellaneous joinery and
veneer work. The vessel was then sailed to Florida where it
was shipped to Ensenada, Mexico. Baja Naval Boat Yard in Ensenada,
Mexico has painted the hull, deck and superstructure, varnished
extensively, installed a bow thruster and are currently installing
new glass in the deck hatches. The vessel was inspected while
hauled. The vessel was not taken on a sea trial or sailed; the
engine, transmission and generator were not test operated. All
components are reportedly and assumed to be properly functional.
The vessel appears to be structurally sound. The vessel is in
excellent cosmetic condition. The owner exhibited extensive
knowledge of the vessel and its systems. The vessel is well
suited for its intended purpose as a coastal and offshore cruising
vessel.
Overall
Summary: Good – Excellent
VALUES
ACTUAL
CASH - $1,175,000
VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT - $2,700,000
VALUE INVESTMENT - $1,300,000
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. The actual cash value is best determined
by a thorough market search to determine what vessels are available
on the market, followed by negotiations between the interested
parties. 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.
C &
V Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance,
ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal,
Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide
and install a locking ring for the shore power cord, which is
currently in use.
2. Complete the installation of the cockpit VHF and prove it
properly functional.
3. Service and prove the horn properly functional.
4. Complete re-commissioning procedures including attaching
the anchor to the rode, replacing components which are currently
removed including hatches etc…
5. Provide and install suitable covers for all primary battery
connections including battery terminals and the winch connections
exposed in the starboard locker in the master stateroom.
6. Determine the significance of the electrical component disconnected
from the transmission, address appropriately.
7. Service to eliminate the fuel leak apparent atop the starboard
forward saloon bilge fuel tank. Clean the fuel from the tank
and the bilge to allow detection of any other leaks.
8. Display the documentation number per federal regulations.
NOTES
1. The anchor
rode locker was not accessed during the survey.
2. The heat exchanger hoses between the water heater and the
engine are damaged by the hose clamps at the engine, address
appropriately.
3. The engine’s sea strainer exhibits surface corrosion,
service as necessary.
