1. Design and Accommodations:

34’6” LOA double ended, full displacement, cutter rigged sailing vessel, 27’4” on the waterline. Designed

by Ted Brewer. Federal Documentation indicates subject vessel constructed in 1982 by Custom Yacht

Builders in Ontario, Canada. Construction details are listed below. The vessel is well equipped for

cruising, including Aries steering vane, wind generator, and solar panels, and has reportedly completed

several extended voyages including a trans-Atlantic crossing and several east-west trips through the Panama

Canal.

The current owner, Mr. Scheel, reported that the vessel was constructed on a custom or semi-custom bases

and was completed and launched in 1986. Mr. Scheel applied for and received Federal Documentation

status in 1999, however he indicated that no U.S. HIN was assigned at that time. Note: For vessels

constructed after 1971 and imported into the U.S., CFR 33 Pt. 181 requires installation of HIN numbers

(including secondary HIN) in the format described in Pt. 181.25. It is this surveyor’s understanding that

the Canadian government did not require HIN numbers before 1984, unless constructed for import into the

United States. Assigned Canadian HIN numbers followed the U.S. format, but the affixed HIN on subject

vessel does not match any known format. The Federal Documentation official numbers were applied to the

fwd side of the port compression bulkhead, however they were not permanently affixed as defined by

regulation.

Mr. Scheel reported that he had completed several upgrades since purchasing the vessel in 1999. This

included upgrading the electronic/navigation equipment (Radar, SSB, GPS chartplotter, Autopilot, depth

and speed/log instruments); mounting Ampair wind generator and pole on the transom; renewing both

running backstays; installing new batteries about 1 ½ yrs ago; adding (1) solar panel to the array; installing

additional bilge pump; installing HO alternator; installing Adler Barbour refrigeration; adding additional

power ventilator for engine space.

Hull and deck construction scantlings are substantial. Hull construction is FRP with core material

(construction drawings indicate Airex). The decks and cabin top are similarly construction, except with a

balsa and plywood core. Cabin sides are solid plywood. Down below, the interior joinery is faced in Birch

veneers and is completed to a basic yet very good and functional level of workmanship. Joinery details

include locker facings milled with integral hinge pins and turning-block type hardware. The cabin table is

also faced with Birch. The cabin sole includes raised teak inlays. The inside face of the hull is lined in thin

plywood, which is reported to have a foil-backed polyurethane insulating foam affixed behind.

The deck layout provides for a stainless steel bow pulpit with integral forestay chainplate fitting; large SS

stem piece with integral anchor roller on stem; manual windlass with additional chainpipe penetration in

foredeck; stainless steel bow railing with double lifelines (upper lifeline is wire rope, lower lifeline is line)

on stainless steel stanchions, with gates P&S; solar ventilator on foredeck. The raised cabin trunk includes

(1) plexiglass egress/ventilation hatch over the fwd accommodations, additional ventilation hatch, propane

locker fwd of mast; (6) Dorade vents built into fwd trunk and cabin top, (13) fixed portlights, stainless steel

mast rail and Dorade vent guards, sliding companionway hatch (with dogs) with turtle cover. The side

decks are surrounded by a batten-board type bulwark, which is thru-bolted into the stanchion bases. The aft

cockpit is small and self-bailing for offshore use and includes a large cockpit locker, lazzerette/sail locker,

binnacle compass and bulkhead instrumentation, canvas dodger on frame (with additional frame over for

supporting solar panel array), and SS boom gallows. The engine space can be accessed through the cockpit

locker. A stainless steel stern railing, pole-mounted wind generator, and Aries wind vane are mounted aft.

Accommodations from Bow: Divided chain locker in forepeak; fwd cabin with raised berth to port and

locker space opposite; aft through sliding door is transverse fully enclosed Head area (toilet, sink, hand

shower wand, locker space); aft through additional sliding door into main salon with settees port and

starboard and drop-leaf cabin table centerline, diesel heater fwd, and storage outboard; aft is a U-shaped

galley to port and chart table/quarterberth to starboard. The main panelboards are located outboard of the

chart table. Access to the engine space is below the companionway ladder.

2. Construction:

Description

Hull configuration is full keel with cutaway forefoot and additional small cutaway forward of the

rudder. FRP hull appears cored (possibly Airex) throughout. Additional FRP-encapsulated

longitudinal stringers are affixed at intervals, stem to stern. Ballast is internal. Main hull stiffness

provided by aforementioned longitudinal stringers, several plywood compression bulkheads,

interior joinery, plywood sole and transverse floors. All transverse bulkheads and interior joinery

appears tabbed to the hull, side decks, and cabin top with FRP where accessible.

The deck and cabin trunk is also FRP/core construction, except for solid plywood cabin sides. The

underside of the cabin top and decks include FRP stringers for additional support, and plywood

gussets at the hull/deck joint. Based on several representative samples obtained from the current

owner, the core material in the decks and cabin top is balsa end-grain, with some plywood inserts.

The hull/deck joint is overlaid with FRP inside and outside, with outer laminations faired into the

hull molding along the sheer.

As detailed under Design and Accommodations, the interior joinery is faced in Birch veneers, with

locker facings milled with integral hinge pins and turning-block type hardware. The cabin table

and other flats are also faced with Birch. The galley counter is covered in vinyl. The plywood

cabin sole includes raised teak inlays. Tile is applied around the cabin heater on the fwd bulkhead.

Each settee is fitted with a lee cloth.

Observations

The deck and cabin top surfaces were inspected and found to be in good condition. No significant

flexing or degradation was noted and the structure appeared very stiff. The exterior paint was

finished to a basic level, but appeared in serviceable condition- the batten bulwarks, propane locker,

and other wood details were painted brown. Treadmaster non-skid had been applied on the

foredeck and in several other locations. The plywood bottom to the starboard cockpit coaming

locker was found adrift as below listed. The flue for the diesel heater was capped, but the Charley-

Noble was sighted in the cockpit locker. Stainless components included the bow pulpit (and

bobstays), bow and stern railings, mast rail, frame for the solar array and boom gallows, and

various guards for the dorade ventilators.

The FRP tabbing securing the compression bulkheads and joinery to the hull sides was not

accessible for inspection due to the installation of the polyurethane insulation and overlying

plywood paneling, which had been fitted to the hull in between these components. In unfinished

areas of the hull, core seams were found where the core had been tailored into the laminate. Lead

pigs had been placed in the lazzerette as trim ballast, but were secured under a grate. Both sliding

doors in the interior were found off their respective tracks, as below listed. During a heavy rain on

the date of survey, some slight leakage was sighted around the port fwd stanchion base backing

plate, and some corrosion of the backing plate was also noted.

The hull sides were finished in paint. The paint was noted lifted/blistered in several areas including

along the waterline, along the sheer where the ext laminations of the hull/deck joint were faired in,

and in other random locations. The cause of the blistering and lifting paint, which appeared

superficial, appeared to be water absorption in the fairing compound substrate.

Subject vessel was hauled at time of survey, and the below waterline areas of the hull, keel, rudder,

and running gear were viewed. No unrepaired damages were noted. The hull was covered with

numerous, small (less than ½” diameter) blisters, which were osmotic in characteristic.

Comparative moisture meter readings of the below-waterline areas of the hull were elevated,

however the current owner indicated that Copper-Poxy had been applied, which is known to

adversely affect and skew moisture meter readings (see note below). The current owner said that

the antifouling paint had been renewed in Mexico in the spring of 2003, and scrubbed in-water in

the intervening period. The running gear was fouled but was cleaned during the haul out interval.

The running gear and rudder molding are further described later in this report

Note: Moisture meter readings can be inaccurate. Readings can be influenced by several

factors, including type of bottom paint and laminate materials schedule and thickness. No

external paint was removed, and no destructive testing was performed at time of survey.

Recommendations

Upgrade	Suggest re-bed port fwd stanchion base.
Upgrade	Suggest repair loose plywood bottom panel for starboard cockpit coaming storage locker.
Upgrade	Suggest repair interior sliding door hardware or tracks.
Upgrade	Suggest repair osmotic blisters in hull bottom according to accepted practices.
Upgrade	Suggest sand & seal hull side fairing material along waterline, along sheer, and at other locations, and refinish hull sides with paint of choice.

Ventilation	Attwood blower motor fitted inside upper end of cockpit locker. Additional power ventilator mounted into engine space door.
Siphon Break	Plumbed near centerline, with vent discharging above cockpit sole.
Engine Mounting and Beds.	Flexible engine mounts bolted into steel foundations, which are inset and lagged into FRP-encapsulated substantial plywood engine beds. Appears secure.

Observations

Note: A complete engine survey was not conducted by the undersigned. The engine survey was

confined to a visual external inspection. The sea water circuit included a plastic Vetus sea

strainer. A late model high output alternator (rep. 100 amp) had been installed.

A problem with the transmission precluded extended operation of the main engine in fwd gear

during sea trails. The outboard edge of the engine starting motor appeared to have some case

damage from impacting against the adjacent engine mount. Belt residue was found on the fwd end

of the engine, and some corrosion was noted around the exhaust manifold.

Sea Trial Results

Sea trails were conducted primarily under sail alone, as a problem with the transmission precluded extended operation of the main engine while in gear. Max RPM/speed under load N/A

Cruising speed/RPM N/A

Other N/A

Recommendations

* Recommend repair/replace Hurth transmission as necessary.

* Recommend remove and inspect damage to case of engine starting motor, and repair if

necessary.

Upgrade Suggest label function of switch for aux engine space blower motor (in engine panel).

4. Running Gear

Propeller	Three-bladed Maxprop feathering propeller. See below.
Shaft	1” stainless steel. Shaft grade not determined.
Stuffing Box	Lasdrop Shaft Seal. Appeared serviceable.
Coupler	Coupler serviceable however coupler nuts too long (see below)
Zincs	None sighted. See below.
Cutless Bearing	Cutless bearing housed inside of stern tube. Serviceable.

Observations

The zinc anode for the Maxprop had either completed wasted away or come adrift. Excessive play

was found in the propeller, however grease may improve this situation. The nuts securing the

coupler bolts were oversized and thus impacted against the fasteners securing the output flange on

the transmission during operation.

* Recommend replace nuts on shaft coupler bolts with appropriately sized nuts.

5. Exhaust System and CO Detector

Exhaust Description

The main engine exhaust circuit is fitted with a siphon break in the sea water circuit before the

exhaust manifold. The exhaust discharges via a length of exhaust hose into a plastic Vetus waterlift

canister in the aft bilge sump. An additional length of exhaust hose leads to the terminus in the hull

side.

Exhaust Observations

The exhaust hose connection to the aft end of the Vetus canister was not double clamped, as below

listed.

Carbon Monoxide detector

A Night Hawk 120VAC Carbon Monoxide detector is mounted in the accommodations.

Carbon Monoxide Observations

The 120VAC CO detector will not power up unless shore power is available. Note: Carbon

Monoxide detectors manufactured to marine standards are constructed per the requirements of

UL 2034 and ABYC A-24.

Recommendations

supported at the lower end with a SS rudder shoe attached to the skeg. The rudder stock is

supported with a FRP rudder tube, with plywood gussets. A similar tube is affixed below deck

level.

Rudder Observations

There were indications of crevice corrosion/pitting in the SS rudder shoe at the lower end of the

skeg, as below listed. The zinc was not installed on this component. The SS rudder stock appeared

to be fitted with a sleeve to allow the rudder to be removed more easily.

Recommendations

Upgrade Suggest repair pitted areas of SS rudder shoe as necessary. Install zinc on provided stud.

9. Mast, Rigging, Chainplates, Stanchions and Lifelines

Description

The mast is a painted aluminum spar section, with SS mast stairs, internal halyards, single set of

spreaders, and trysail track. The boom is also aluminum. The mast is stepped in a welded

aluminum box in the bilge sump, with compression bulkheads from deck to step.

The rigging is 1/4” and 5/16” 1X19 SS wire, with swage fittings at the upper ends and Stalock or

Norseman fittings at the lower ends. Open barrel turnbuckles are provided. The inner forestay is

Chainplates: The chainplates in way of the shrouds and stays are constructed of welded stainless

steel, with the lower ends of the chainplates thru-bolted into the hull sides and further reinforced

with SS angle bolted into the partial bulkheads. The backstay chainplates are also stainless steel,

thru-bolted into each aft quarter. The headstay is linked to a large bow pulpit fabricated of SS

tubing, which is supported by twin SS bobstays thru bolted into the lower end of the stem. The

inner forestay is supported by a gusset below decks.

A Pro-Furl roller furling system is fitted over the headstay. A boom vang is installed. The

multipart mainsheet is pinned to the top end of the boom gallows however a secondary mainsheet

allows for further adjustment. A large whisker or running pole is secured to a track at the fwd end

of the mast.

Lifelines: The upper lifelines are SS wire rope with swage fittings. The lower lifeline is rope type.

Stanchions are stainless steel, with gates P&S.

Observations

The mast and rigging was inspected from deck level, and aloft from a bosun’s chair. A significant

crack was found in the swage fitting at the top end of the starboard upper stay, as below listed. A

finer crack was also found in the swage fitting at the top end of the inner forestay. Other swage

fittings had some surface rust. Note: No dye or penetrant was used to check the swage fittings.

Some corrosion was noted around the hardware installed on the mast and boom, and it appeared

that the hardware had not been removed when the spar was last repainted. The trysail track was

missing many fasteners. The spinnaker or reacher halyard had significant chafage. Some swage

fittings on the lifelines were found cracked as below listed.

Recommendations

** Renew starboard upper stay with cracked swage fitting.

* Recommend renew inner forestay with slight crack in swage fitting.

* Recommend renew starboard aft lifeline and port fwd lifeline with cracked swage fittings.

* Recommend renew spinnaker/reacher halyard.

bonding system, if desired.

11. Tankage

Fuel Tankage Description

Diesel fuel is contained in two tanks. The aluminum main tank, below the cockpit sole, is reported

48 gallons capacity. The Monel aux tank, mounted in the port lazzerette, is reported 12 gallons

capacity. A sump is included in the lower end of the main tank.

Fuel Tankage Observations

The fuel fill and vent hoses were noted as vinyl hose rather than fuel hose. Vinyl hose was also

utilized in the plumbing between the main and aux fuel tanks, as below listed. If retained in the

system, the fuel primer bulbs between the main and aux tanks should be periodically inspected for

hardness and degradation.

Water Tankage Description

Potable water is stored in several tanks (rep. 120 gallons total capacity). A stainless steel tank is

fitted below each settee and a FRP tank is provided in the bilge. The two outboard tanks are

plumbed to a crossover and manifold to gravity-feed into the lower tank. All tanks can be isolated

if necessary.

Water Tankage Observations

Accessible portions of the water tankage appeared in good condition, however large portions were

inaccessible.

The 12VDC main panelboard, mounted outboard of the chart table, contains a battery test circuit,

main breaker, and branch breakers. An additional fuse block is mounted adjacent to the battery

switch in the engine space. An Ample Power battery monitor and amp-hour counter is installed.

Observations

The wiring bundles above the main engine were hanging loosely, as was a switch to equalize the

batteries off of the engine alternator below the companionway. Other wiring was insufficiently

supported and secured inside of lockers and below the hull/deck joint. The fuse block adjacent to

the battery switch and other in-line fuses were not labeled, and not all 12VDC circuits were

confirmed as having appropriately rated overcurrent protection devices. The volt test meter at the

main panelboard was inoperative however this is redundant with the provided Ample Power amp

hour counter and battery monitoring system.

Recommendations

** Secure loose conductive foil insulation above fuse block in the engine space.

* Recommend secure loose wiring bundles above main engine. Secure other loose wiring

and switches inside of lockers and below hull/deck joint as necessary. Identify all

circuits, fuse block, and in-line fuse holders as to function.

20. 120 VAC Electric System

Description

One 30 amp 120 VAC shore power circuit is provided. The shore inlet fitting is mounted in the

starboard cockpit coaming, and is wired to a 120VAC main panelboard outboard of the chart table.

The panelboard contains (2) single pole breakers (serving the function of a main breaker), polarity

light and test circuit, and (3) single pole branch breakers serving the receptacles and battery

charger. Each receptacle circuit includes a GFCI type receptacle. Various power strips are plugged

into the receptacles. Two shore power cords are stowed onboard, as is a pigtail.

Converter: Late model Guest Charge Pro model 2610 10 amp three stage battery charger, mounted

adjacent to companionway.

Observations

The main breakers on the main panelboard were each single pole type. This suggests the possibility

of forming an open neutral connection if only one of the breakers is switched off, which could be a

significant fire hazard. Current ABYC standard E-11 recommends installation of a multi-pole main

breaker which simultaneously disconnects both ungrounded (hot) and grounded (neutral)

connections. The receptacle wired for the battery charger and the receptacle below the cockpit sole

did not have shore grounding (green wire) conductors. The polarity test circuit on the main

panelboard was inoperative.

Recommendations

* Recommend install a multi-pole main breaker for 120VAC shore service. The main

breaker should simultaneously disconnect ungrounded (hot) and grounded (neutral)

conductors.

* Recommend repair the 120VAC polarity test circuit on the main panelboard.

* Recommend install a grounding (green wire) conductor to the receptacle serving the

battery charger, and the receptacle below the cockpit sole.

21. Galley Equipment

Scope of Survey

THIS WILL CERTIFY THAT, at the request of Jim and Michael Wiegand, the undersigned marine

surveyor inspected the above referenced vessel on 3 &4 March, 2005, while in-water at Sun Harbor Marina,

Panama City, Florida, and while blocked onshore at Snug Harbour Boatyard, for the purpose of determining

marine risk, condition, and value.

Note: Latent defects, not to be found without the removal of fiberglass sheathing, joinery, paint

covering, and, or other parts of the vessel, are not intended to be covered by this report.

Sea trials were conducted; however operation of the main engine was limited because of a problem with the

transmission. Speed trials were therefore not performed. The current owner, Mr. Terry Scheel, the

contingent owners, and the listing broker attended the complete survey inspection, sea trials, and subsequent

haul out. Significant findings were discussed with both current and contingent owners.

The hull molding was visually examined; no destructive testing was performed. As accessible, the thru-hull

fittings and seacocks, running gear, and rudder molding were also inspected at time of survey. Moisture

meter readings were obtained for comparative purposes only, if detailed in the report.

Note: Moisture meter readings can be influenced by several factors, including pigments (graphite and others)

in various types of bottom paint, and laminate materials schedule and thickness. No external paint was

removed, and no destructive testing was performed at time of survey. Moisture meter readings were obtained

for comparative purposes only.

All structural members, support beams and secondary bonding were inspected where accessible, without

any major removals, and noted to be free of any serious cracks, checks, deterioration or delamination,

except if noted. Inspection of the keel bolts and stub, if applicable, was confined to a visual inspection

only. It should be recognized that keel bolts can be subject to degradation, including crevice corrosion, in

areas inaccessible to the normal inspection process.

The electrical wiring was inspected where accessible. Details are in the recommendations section. Some

electronic, accessory and navigational equipment was tested for startup and operation. Batteries were not

load tested nor tested with a hydrometer; such testing is beyond the scope of the survey.

The mast, rigging, and boom were inspected from deck level and aloft from a bosun’s chair. Swage fittings

were not tested with dye penetrant. Details are in the body of the report.

The interior was inspected for quality of finish and fabric coverings. All bilge’s, storage lockers, and living

spaces were inspected for maintenance and cleanliness, and comments provided.

The fuel and water tanks were inspected where accessible, without any major removals. Any further unique

limitations of the inspection process are described in the body of the report.

Vessel measurements (Particulars on the first page of the report) were taken from published sources, or

from information or literature provided by owner or broker. No actual measurements of the vessel were

taken at time of survey, except as noted.

Marine Risk and Valuation Opinion

This vessel was found to be a good marine risk in her present condition, if the recommendations and safety

requirements identified with asterisks (**) and (*), are complied with. Normal and preventative maintenance

should continue. This survey is intended for insurance and financial evaluation.

Subject vessel is a good example of a custom or semi-custom full displacement doubled ended sailing

vessel, and is well equipped for cruising, including Aries steering vane, wind generator, and solar panels.

Construction scantlings are substantial. Equipment inventory includes fairly late model electronic and

navigational equipment.

The Fair Market Value appearing on the first page of this report is based upon the average selling price of a

vessel of this type and size, according to the material at hand; considering the present condition of the vessel

and gear, and all extras and accessories fairly depreciated. Current Fair Market Value is the price, in terms

of currency, that a willing seller will accept from a willing buyer, neither being under undue pressure, and

each being reasonably informed of the facts pertinent to the transaction and acting in what they consider their

own best interest, with the property offered in a competitive open market for a reasonable period of time.

The price represents a normal consideration for the vessel being sold, unaffected by special or creative

financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. In the case of a Pre Purchase type

survey, the contract price may or may not be made known to the surveyor making the valuation.
