## 03** Overall condition **

**Above Average**for a vessel of its age (1995)

Has had above average care and is equipped with extra electrical and electronic gear.

No defects requiring attention were identified, and the vessel presents as having had above average care with equipment beyond the standard specification.

This rating reflects the work required to make the vessel ready for sale, judged against what is normal for her age. Cosmetic wear and unanswered questions are listed separately and do not reduce it.

## 04** Summary **

Based on the remote evidence provided, this 1995 vessel presents in a condition that is above average for its age. The interior accommodation and exterior deck areas appear well-maintained, reflecting a level of care superior to many vessels of this vintage. Furthermore, the yacht is notably well-equipped with an extensive array of electrical and electronic systems, enhancing its functional capabilities beyond the standard specification.

While the visible structures and primary systems appear serviceable, the age of the vessel necessitates a proactive approach to rig and underwater maintenance. It is essential to verify the age of the standing rigging and confirm the presence of compliant fire safety equipment. Additionally, the specific configuration of the ballast—whether encapsulated or bolted—requires physical verification to ensure the integrity of the keel-to-hull connection and to check for any historical grounding impact.

Several mechanical and plumbing items require professional attention to ensure continued reliability. Specifically, the engine mounts show signs of degradation and require remediation. A thorough inspection of all below-waterline components is also advised, including the exercising of seacocks and the renewal of any perished hoses or clamps. The integrity of the chainplates should be confirmed by internal inspection, and the capacity of the battery bank should be verified under load to support the vessel’s enhanced electrical systems.

In summary, this vessel has been maintained to a high standard and offers a sophisticated equipment profile for a 31-year-old craft. Provided the identified maintenance tasks and safety verifications are addressed, it remains a well-preserved example of its type. The conclusions of this remote review are subject to the physical inspection of the hull, steering gear, and drivetrain, which were excluded from this assessment.

## 06** Priority actions **

**Address before use**2

Items that should be addressed before the vessel is used or the item relied upon, and which may affect insurability.

- **Standing rigging**

  Establish the age of the standing rigging from invoices. Replace it in full unless documentation shows it is less than ten years old.

  Standing rigging has a finite service life regardless of appearance, and its terminals and swages cannot be assessed from photographs. Many insurers require replacement at least every ten years, and hot, high-salinity cruising grounds shorten that to between five and ten. Failure is sudden and can cost the rig.

  Indicative cost: Significant
- **Fire fighting equipment**

  Confirm that fire extinguishers are present, in date and appropriate to the vessel, and that a fire blanket is fitted in the galley.

  Extinguisher service dates are not legible in listing photographs. Out-of-date or absent fire fighting equipment is a safety and insurance matter that must be settled before use.

  Indicative cost: Minor

**Address in the near term**5

Items requiring attention in the near future. Less imminent risk, but likely to cause problems if left.

- **Skin fittings and seacocks**

  Have every seacock exercised, and the skin fittings inspected and tested, with the vessel ashore.

  Where the through-hull valves are believed original, they are at an age where seizure and dezincification are common. A seacock cannot be exercised or its internal condition judged from a photograph, and a failed one sinks the boat at her berth.

  Indicative cost: Moderate
- **Chainplates**

  Have the chainplates withdrawn or inspected behind the linings, and their deck seals renewed.

  Chainplate fastenings and the laminate they load are concealed and cannot be inspected remotely. Crevice corrosion below deck level is a known failure mode on vessels of this age and is not visible from outside.

  Indicative cost: Moderate
- **Engine installation, mounts and bearers**

  Attend to the degraded engine mounts affecting the engine installation, mounts and bearers.

  The rubber element of the visible engine mount shows signs of surface cracking and degradation.

  Indicative cost: Moderate
- **Fresh water system**

  Inspect all below-waterline hoses and renew any that are perished, together with their clamps; every below-waterline hose should be double clamped.

  Hoses perish from the inside and their condition cannot be judged from photographs. A below-waterline hose failure is a flooding risk.

  Indicative cost: Minor
- **Batteries and installation**

  Establish the age and capacity of the battery bank and test it under load.

  Battery condition is a function of age and cycling history, neither of which is visible. Banks of this age are commonly at or past the end of their useful life.

  Indicative cost: Moderate

**Verify on physical survey**4

Items that cannot be resolved from photographs and must be confirmed during a physical inspection.

- **Ballast keel**

  The design appears to carry its ballast encapsulated within the hull. Confirm that at survey; if so, have the keel laminate and bilge sump examined for grounding damage and moisture-metered. If an external keel on studs is found instead, have the studs, nuts and backing plates examined and the joint opened up if it is weeping.

  This vessel is understood to carry ballast moulded within the hull, which has no keel bolts to fail and instead takes up water through grounding damage or a crazed sump. That understanding is inferred rather than documented, so it should be established before the inspection is booked.

  Indicative cost: Significant
- **Engine, external condition**

  Inspect the engine, external condition on physical survey: hose secured with a single clamp.

  This component cannot be assessed from photographs, so the observation is reported for verification rather than as a conclusion.

  Indicative cost: Minor
- **Engine, mechanical condition**

  Commission a mechanical survey of the engine, including a sea trial, oil analysis and compression testing, and obtain the service history. Provide a budget for major engine work.

  The mechanical condition of the engine is outside the scope of this review and cannot be inferred from photographs in either direction: an engine that presents poorly may run perfectly, and a clean one may not. At this age, and without service records, its remaining life is unknown and should be priced as a risk rather than assumed. Typical for this model: The standard engine for this era was the Yanmar 4JH2-TE, a 62hp turbocharged marine diesel. Some were fitted with the larger 4JH2-HTE (75hp). Engine access is excellent. The primary access is via large, hinged, and removable panels on the port and starboard sides of the engine room, located in the aft passageway. Additional access is available from the aft cabin by removing panels at the foot of the berth, and from the cockpit sole via a hatch. The engine is mounted on a robust, heavily glassed-in stringer system that is integral to the hull.

  Indicative cost: Major
- **Wiring and distribution panels**

  Inspect the wiring and distribution panels on physical survey: sub-standard wiring practice.

  This component cannot be assessed from photographs, so the observation is reported for verification rather than as a conclusion.

  Indicative cost: Moderate

**Cosmetic / owner's convenience**4

Appearance, comfort or convenience. May affect value, but not safety or structure — the owner's convenience.

- **Topsides**

  Presentation only: attend to the fender scuffs and marks affecting the topsides at the owner's convenience.

  Consistent with normal wear for a vessel of 31 years; condition is assessed relative to age.

  Indicative cost: Minor
- **Deck covering**

  Presentation only: attend to the weathered teak affecting the deck covering at the owner's convenience.

  Consistent with normal wear for a vessel of 31 years; condition is assessed relative to age.

  Indicative cost: Minor
- **Deck hardware**

  Presentation only: attend to the degraded varnish or brightwork affecting the deck hardware at the owner's convenience.

  Consistent with normal wear for a vessel of 31 years; condition is assessed relative to age.

  Indicative cost: Minor
- **Canvas and covers**

  Presentation only: attend to the uv degradation of canvas affecting the canvas and covers at the owner's convenience.

  Consistent with normal wear for a vessel of 31 years; condition is assessed relative to age.

  Indicative cost: Moderate

**Safety Equipment.** Safety Equipment was visible only in part or at a distance. Comments are limited to what could be seen.

**Outside the scope of this review **

- The mechanical condition of the engine and gearbox. Only the installation and external appearance can be commented on, and neither predicts how an engine runs.
- Standing rigging terminals, swages and chainplate fastenings, which determine the rig's serviceability and do not resolve in listing photographs.
- Moisture content of the hull, deck and core.
- The interior of tanks, and the condition of their contents.
- Wiring, plumbing and structure concealed behind linings, joinery and mouldings.
- The function of seacocks and valves, none of which can be exercised.
- Sails stowed under covers or bagged.
- Any latent defect not visible in the photographs supplied.

## 09** Next steps for the physical survey **

- Establish the age of the standing rigging from invoices. Replace it in full unless documentation shows it is less than ten years old.
- Confirm that fire extinguishers are present, in date and appropriate to the vessel, and that a fire blanket is fitted in the galley.
- The design appears to carry its ballast encapsulated within the hull. Confirm that at survey; if so, have the keel laminate and bilge sump examined for grounding damage and moisture-metered. If an external keel on studs is found instead, have the studs, nuts and backing plates examined and the joint opened up if it is weeping.
- Inspect the engine, external condition on physical survey: hose secured with a single clamp.
- Commission a mechanical survey of the engine, including a sea trial, oil analysis and compression testing, and obtain the service history. Provide a budget for major engine work.
- Inspect the wiring and distribution panels on physical survey: sub-standard wiring practice.
- Obtain photographs or a physical inspection of the systems not covered by this listing: Ballast Keel & Keel Fixings, Rudder & Steering.
- Commission a full pre-purchase survey with the vessel ashore, including moisture readings of the hull and deck, hammer sounding, and an inspection of the rig and its terminals.
