“BANGALORE” has been in the care of a knowledgeable and committed owner for the past 20-25
years. The vessel was largely replanked, refastened and reframed in 1985. She has competed in every
Newport Bermuda race since 1990 except this last running in 2008. She has also competed in many
Marblehead Halifax races. The vessel has been the recipient of great care at great expense during all
this time. The vessel safety systems have been continually upgraded to stay in compliance with the
very stringent standards of the Offshore Racing Council Attention to the rig, engine, and safety
systems reflect the owner’s commitment to the vessel and to safety at sea.
In as far as may be ascertained from a general inspection, without making extensive removals or
opening up to expose ordinarily concealed areas, and without taking borings to determine thickness or

soundness of structures and members, or testing for tightness of components. Upon compliance with
the following required items, this vessel should represent a sound financial and insurance risk.
Note: The N.F.P.A. National Fire Protection Association, and ABYC (American Boat and Yacht
Council), do not represent legal requirements, only safety standards. Non -conformity can affect
insurance. U.S.C.G Requirements are law by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971.

Please note that photos in this report are recent photos, though not taken at survey. The photos

current layout.
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
The following is this surveyor's marine grading system of condition and is applied to general
condition of the vessel as well as to the sub headings in the body of the report:
“EXCELLENT (BRISTOL) CONDITION'' is a vessel that is maintained in
mint or Bristol fashion.
''GOOD CONDITION'' has had above average care and is equipped with good quality gear in good
condition. Only minor cosmetic or structural deficiencies noted.
Page 8 of 8 Survey #174S14
''FAIR CONDITION'' Denotes that system, component or item is functional as is with minor
repairs.
''POOR CONDITION'' Unusable as is: Requires repairs or replacement of system, component or
item to be considered functional.
“POWERS UP” Power was applied only. It does not refer to the operation of any system or
component.
1. The mandatory standards promulgated by the USCG under Title 46 United States Code (USC), Title
33 and 46, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), And the voluntary standards and recommended
practices developed by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), and the National Fire Prevention
Association (NFPA) have been used as guidelines in the conduct of this survey.
2. The survey, which is this subject of this report, was conducted in accordance with generally
accepted marine standards and criteria utilized in the marine surveying industry. Parts of most
vessels cannot be examined due to inaccessibility, Some removal procedures add greatly
to the time involved and, consequently to the cost. Therefore such procedures are not
performed unless specifically requested or recommended. Engine surveys and oil analysis are
separate surveys and are recommended. Surveyors do not: Test the vessel, hull or tanks for tightness
or leaks; Unload cluttered holds or lockers; clean bottoms; operate the vessel. It is pointed out that
where wood decay is involved, it is not unusual for repairs to uncover previously hidden additional
decay.
3. We recommend surveyor attendance underway to test gear under working conditions. The vessel
was examined in the water and / or drydock (see page one for details). The hull, deck, and house
were sounded for structural integrity. Moisture meter readings, where referenced in this report were
taken with a “GE Protimeter”. Sole boards were lifted and accessible drawers and lockers were opened
for inspection. Machinery, electrical and electronic equipment were operated except as noted.

3. The report is confined to the surveyor's opinion as to the general physical condition and estimated
value of the vessel, it is not to be considered an inventory or a warranty either specified or implied. Nor
does this report include a determination as to the seaworthiness of the vessel, include stability tests
necessary to determine such limitations, nor does it attempt to itemize waters unsuitable for the
vessel's use.
4. In no event shall the legal liability of the undersigned exceed the fee paid by the requesting party
regardless of claims or suits. In accepting this survey, it is understood that the company and its
surveyors have used their best endeavors to ensure that the functions of survey have been properly
executed.
