Athwartships/bulkheads/frames: Fiberglass encased, unknown core, balsa visible forward in port foredeck locker.

Layout/interior components: Catamaran, engines in separate compartments aft, separate lockers forward, trampoline, two storage lockers forward of mast, cockpit has helm to starboard, sliding doors between cockpit and bridge deck, starboard hull has head aft, cabin forward of head, small cabin inboard amidships, cabin forward with head forward, port hull has cabins with heads forward and aft and galley amidships.

Bilge: Holding minimal water and oil in starboard engine room.

Comments: The vessel was inspected while afloat and while mostly dry on a sand bar at low tide. The hull bottom and most of the keels were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull bottom and keels are in good condition. The aft end of the starboard keel has fiberglass damage; this was only visible while the vessel was afloat, not while the vessel was on the sand bar. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull sides and transom are in good structural and satisfactory cosmetic condition. The HIN is not visible on the transom; the vessel has a small “pad” for a HIN but no HIN is displayed. There is damage on the port hull aft; a small area near the sail drive was patched while the vessel was dry. There is a crack on the inboard side of the port hull transom and miscellaneous damage in this area. There is a gelcoat (apparently) crack by the junction between the aft port hull and the bridge deck. There is paint on the underbody amidships and there is an unfair area on the starboard side of the underbody. The current owner stated that he is not aware of any repairs in this area during his ownership. There is damage to the material on the interior of the hulls at the trampoline fasteners. This unknown material is compressed about the fasteners with significant stress cracks. The current owner has moved the fasteners and reinforced some with backing plates internally. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The deck and superstructure are in good structural and satisfactory cosmetic condition. There are miscellaneous spider cracks about the deck. There is a visible gelcoat repair about the starboard stainless steel cockpit hardtop support. There is cosmetic wear on the deck to starboard aft near the top of the swim platform. There is an anomaly forward in the starboard transom locker; it is circular, its cause and significance is beyond the scope of this survey. We did not access the life raft locker below the cockpit table. The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected and most hatches and the port lights were opened and closed. Overall the deck hardware is in satisfactory condition. Several of the deck hatches are crazed. There is a crack in the port transom locker hatch. Hardware for much of the deck hatches is missing; some of the components are loose. The structural reinforcements including the hull liner and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition. There is a cut out in the reinforcement member in the starboard bilge amidships, below the sole. There is a crack in a structural reinforcement member below the galley sole, inboard and forward. We did not “dig out” the starboard mid-cabin. There is a crack in the galley countertop. The engine room insulation is failing. The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly. This survey is not a mould inspection. The bilge is holding minimal water; the origin is unknown.

Summary: Good

Sails: Dacron main with six full battens and two reef pints, spinnaker with sock, jib (ripped)

Comments: The mast and associated rigging were visually inspected from the deck level only. The mast is likely original. The current owner stated that the standing rigging has been replaced; the prior owner replaced the forestay and likely replaced the upper shrouds. The current owner replaced the intermediate shroud to starboard in the recent past. The current owner stated that a recent marine survey for insurance purposes detected a small crack in the swage fitting for this shroud. The rig was not inspected aloft. The jib was ripped at the time of inspection and was not used during a sailing sea trial; the main sail and spinnaker were used during the sea trial. Overall, the sailing system components are satisfactory. The boom to mast gooseneck fitting is not proper; the pin is much smaller than the hole, which has no bushing. The aft sheet connection on the boom has chafed through its bushing and the welded fitting is “oval-ed” and the associated fitting to port on the hardtop has a pin wearing in the fitting.

SUMMARY

The vessel is a fiberglass composite sailing catamaran manufactured in Cape Town, South Africa. The vessel’s original name was “removed for privacy” with the original official number – removed for privacy (currently used as the hull number). The current owner purchased the vessel in October 2005 in Fajardo, Puerto Rico from a short term owner. The current owner was the first to document the vessel with the U.S. Coast Guard. He stated that the vessel was originally custom built; the listing specifications state there were “occasional crewed charters”. The current owner replaced the engines and sail drives. The current owner cruised the vessel from Florida to its current location in Fiji. The current owner disclosed no knowledge of any significant events in the vessel’s history, such as submersions, collisions, fires etc… The current owner disclosed that the starboard swim platform shower was disconnected and the forward sump pump float switch is not functional. The vessel is basically structurally and mechanically sound and suitable for its intended purpose as an offshore cruising vessel.

Overall Summary: Satisfactory – Good

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Repair the hull interior about the trampoline fasteners; modify as necessary to prevent a repetition of the damage.
2. Repair the apparent gelcoat stress crack at the junction between the port hull and the bridge deck aft; monitor this location for any further cracks and address appropriately.
3. Address the missing or loose hardware components including deck hatch supports, latch receivers etc… as necessary.
4. Repair the crack in the galley countertop as desired.
5. Repair the crack in the reinforcement member below the galley bilge, inboard and forward.
6. Repair the damage on the aft end of the starboard keel.
7. Properly complete the repair to the hull near the sail drive on the port hull and repair the crack on the inboard edge of the port transom.
8. Service to eliminate the apparent leaks from the starboard engine’s and generator’s exhaust connections to the hull side. Replace the missing hose clamp at the engine’s exhaust hose connection.
9. Clean the oil from the starboard engine room bilge; service if/as necessary to eliminate any leaks.
10. Clean the fluid on top of the starboard engine aft; the current owner believes this is anti-corrosion spray building up. Removal of the fluid will allow detection of any leaks.
11. Service the steering system, as necessary to eliminate play in the rudder posts, reconnect the starboard rudder stop, eliminate the port steering cable contact with the inboard fitting and eliminate contact between the port quadrant and its outboard stop.
12. Service the sail drives as necessary including changing the sail drive lubrication.
13. Free up and prove all through hull valves properly functional.
14. Remove staining on the generator’s sea strainer; service to eliminate any weeps or leaks and assure the sea strainer is properly secure.
15. Remove the salt crystals from aft on the port engine. Address the general condition of corrosion inboard in the port engine room. Eliminate any leaks through the port transom shower fitting.
16. Address the stiff steering controls as necessary.
17. Assure that the waste discharge hose in the starboard aft cabin bilge is suitable for continued use; cut back or replace the hose as necessary and double clamp the hose.
18. Replace the through hull valve in the port aft head, which currently has a broken handle. Reconnect the engine room blowers as necessary or desired.
19. Service or replace the Tri-data instrument display which is difficult to read.
20. Service the air-conditioners and prove them all properly functional.
21. Secure the sump pump in the starboard aft head.
22. Secure the starboard amidships air-conditioner pump.
