The purpose of this survey is to establish the condition of the vessel for insurance purposes.It was carried out at the request of Mr A Terrell at North Ferriby boat club, North Ferriby, England.

The craft was seen out of the water only.The weather at the time of survey was cold with heavy rain prevailing throughout the day.

This survey is carried out on the understanding that we are legally liable to our client only and not to any subsequent holders of this report.Although the machinery and equipment aboard the craft is listed this survey does not imply that any of it is functional unless otherwise stated.It is also presumed that any cosmetic defects and the suitability for purpose have been established by the owner.

Hull below the Waterline

The craft has twin bilge keels and a central half skeg extending to afford protection to the rudder.The hull underside was covered in a blue coloured anti-fouling paint.This was reasonably well adhered and appeared newly applied.

I did not remove any areas of anti-fouling paint from the hull as this appears newly applied.There is evidence of damage to the surface of the hull however this appears to be confined to the surface of the gel-coat and is of the type often found when the anti-fouling paint has been removed by sand blasting or grit blastingThis shows as minor pitting to the surface.

3/17

The craft was thoroughly hammer tested revealing no problems.There was no obvious evidence of blistering, wicking or de-lamination evident.There is a little surface wear to the gel-coat on the aft edges of the craft.

I was able to check the moisture readings of the craft using a Tramex skipper moisture meter, I found that these readings ranged between 60 and 80 on the relative scale.These are high readings however the weather at the time of survey was very wet and this has possibly affected the readings slightly.I am informed that the craft has been out of the water for a considerable time.

Without removal of all coating which would not be practical, I am unable to state that the hull is free from blistering or other minor defects but the areas examined are as described above.The hull has cast keels which appear in good order however both keels require the nuts re-torqueing and the port keel requires sealing.

All the skin fittings appeared to be in good order.The main structure still retains its strength.The hull has a hull anode fitted

Recommendations

Ensure that the craft has adequate cathodic protection at all times.Re-torque the keel nuts and seal the port keel.

Hull Above the water line

The hull above the waterline is finished in the manufacturers original gel-coat which has been painted white, this has a very nice finish.

The hull above water line appears in generally very good order with no obvious damage or marking apparent other than a minor amount of abrasion damage to the stern and some minor scuffing.

Recommendations

None.

4/17

Hull Structure

Substantial moulded stiffenings run most of the length of the craft. These are tied into the low transverse bulkheads in the way of the engine bay and transverse floors elsewhere.The structure is further strengthened by stringers, bulkheads and built in furniture.

The structure was examined and found to be in excellent condition with no cracks fractures or failure of bondings.

With the external hull surface showing no signs of undue distortion or flexing, it would appear that the internal structure has provided correct and adequate support for the craft shell.

The keel bolt nuts were examined from the inner of the structure.These are of stainless steel and have a physically good appearance.The keel nuts require re-torquing as previously mentioned.

Recommendations

None.

Superstructure, Decks and Above

The topsides appear in good condition.The topsides and decks are of the manufacturers original glass reinforced plastic (GRP), the decks are painted blue.

Without removal of the paint coatings which would not be practical it is not possible to comment on the areas below however no obvious problems were evident.

Recommendations

None.

5/17

Deck fittings

The deck fittings are in serviceable condition with no excessive wear or damage.The cleats and bollards are secure and are in good condition, these are of stainless steel and alloy.The stainless steel bow rail is secure and in good order as is the stern rail.The stanchions are of alloy with stainless steel safety wires.The safety wires are loose and require tightening.

The craft has a stainless steel boarding ladder and wooden grab rails.

The sand anchor, chain and cord appear in good order and there is a spare sand anchor in the aft cabin.The craft has a wooden bow sprit with stainless steel bow roller.The windlass is a manually operated type.The anchor locker is accessed through the forward cabin.

The navigation lights appear in good order however the function of these was not tested.The craft has an axillary outboard motor bracket.

The tabernacle was examined visually and appears in good order and secure.

Recommendations

Tighten the safety wires.

Windows and hatches

The windows and hatches appear to be in good order.The hatches can be suitably secured.

Recommendations

None

6/17

Steering, rudder and controls

The steering is via pulley and steel wire.The outer sheathing is detaching from the steering cable however this is not affecting its function at this stage.

The rudder has been repaired however this is sound at present.There is some play in the rudder bush however this is still serviceable.There is one very large blister to the port side of the rudderMoisture readings were taken from the surface of the rudder, these were found to be very high however this is not unusual for this type of rudder.

Recommendations

None.

Stern gear

The craft has a deep sea seal installed.This appears in good order however this should be re-examined when the craft is launched.

The three blade propeller appears in good order with only minor chipping to the blades, this is suitably secured by locking nut.The shaft appears true and straight.The shaft has a rope cutter installed, this is not correctly fitted and the chatter plates are broken.

Recommendations

Replace the broken chatter plates and correctly install the rope cutter.

7/17

Interior

This is a nicely fitted out craft with a V berth cabin to the front, this appears attractive and comfortable.The berth is of a nice size and the upholstery appears in good order.This can be converted to a double berth with the use of infill cushions.

To the starboard side of the craft is a hanging locker, this is of a nice usable size.

8/17

There is then a toilet compartment to the port side of the craft.This has a shower, a wash basin and a Porta Potti toilet.

There is a large seating area to the port side of the craft.This is attractive and comfortable.

9/17

To the starboard side of the craft is a very useful and attractive galley. area.This galley has an Origo two burner alcohol hob on gimbal and a Sanyo 800 watt microwave oven with grill.The stainless steel sink with mixer tap is recessed into a tiled work surface.There is a cool box to the rear of the sink.

To the port side of the craft is a sliding chart table and instrument panel.This is above an extended seating are giving an extra berth if required.

10/17

To the aft starboard side of the forward cabin is a seating area which runs partially below the helm and makes excellent use of space.

The craft has an aft cabinThis has two single berths and two reading lights.

Recommendations

None

Engine and gearbox

Engine hours N/K|The engine is a Volvo Penta MD2040DBT diesel engineEngine number 5102526672-868846Gearbox type Volvo PentaNumber MS15LA 2.14 3582389

The engine is a Volvo Penta diesel engine.The engine appears reasonably new.The engine appears to be correctly installed and should give 29.1kw at 3600RPM.The flexible fuel pipe to the engines is of BS7840 and meets BSS certificate standards.The fuel filter appear to be ready for changing.The exhaust system appears to be in good order and benefits from a marine muffler.

The gearbox is a Volvo Penta MS15, this appears to be correctly installed.

Recommendations

Keep the engine and gearbox serviced as recommended by the manufacturers.

13/17

Sails and rigging

The mast was stepped at the time of survey.The rigging and sails were not examined.Most insurance companies require rigging to be serviced every ten or fifteen years.

Recommendations

Examine further and service the sails and rigging if necessary.

F uel, water and holding tanks

The fuel and water tanks are usually inaccessible and although these are examined to the best of our ability, it is always advisable to fill these and examine or to gain a guarantee from the vendor.Whilst great care is taken to detect any evidence of leakage it is often not possible to gain access to all areas required.

Fuel system

The grey painted mild steel fuel tank is to the rear of the engine bay.The fuel tank is mainly inaccessible however no obvious leakage was apparent.The fuel filler sign reads fuel, this should be replaced with a diesel sign if the craft is to gain a BSS certificate.

The fuel system benefits from Racor filters and a change over system.

Recommendations

None

14/17

Water system

The craft has a stainless steel water tank.The tank is housed below the forward berth.

The craft has a presurized water system.The hot water is via an Isotherm calorifier.

Recommendations

None.

Electric system

The craft has two batteries fitted, these are below the port side seating and are wired separately one for leisure and one for cranking.The battery terminals would be better if crimped and a hole should be made in the battery locker to allow the batteries to vent into the engine bay.

The craft has an RCD unit/battery charger fitted.The craft has shore power support.

Recommendations

Ensure the batteries are suitably vented.

Gas

There is no gas system aboard the vessel.

Recommendations

None.

15/17

Bilges, bilge pumps and sea-cocks

The bilges are reasonably clean and dry.The craft has a manual bilge pump.

The craft has two dis-used sea-cocks.These have serviced a sea toilet in the past.These sea-cocks require correctly capping off unless the toilet is to be re-instated.The remaining sea-cocks require two jubilee clips installing to secure the pipes.

The engine room has a light.There is an automatic fire extinguisher in the engine bay.

Recommendations

Cap the dis-used sea-cocks.It would be prudent to secure the pipes to the sea-cocks with two jubilee clips.

Heating system

The craft has a Webasto diesel heater installed.This is below the port side of the helm in a locker.This appears correctly installed and the exhaust is suitably lagged but there are ropes which are resting against the exhaust, these should be separated.

Recommendations

Separate the ropes from the exhaust pipe.

16/17

Summary

The “Yangminshan” is a very well constructed craft and she is in nice condition.The “Yangminshan” should represent a normal risk for insurance purposes.

Normal limitations of survey

Hull - No skin fittings or bolts were drawn and we have not inspected woodwork or other Parts of the structure which are covered, unexposed or otherwise inaccessible. We are therefore unable to report that any such part of the structure is free from defect.The condition of the hull is at the time of survey only and the condition known as osmosis can occur within a short period of time as can impact damage.

Engines . - The engines have not been tested under load and the surveyor is only offering an . Opinion as to their condition.
