Lastly it should be understood that the marine environment can be unforgiving. Ships systems and components can fail at any time. A good ongoing maintenance plan combined with safe and prudent operation of the vessel is the best insurance for the safety of the vessel and its passengers. Patrick M.

VALUATION:
This vessel is considered to be in very good condition and would warrant a premium above other comparable vessels . As inspected we would value this vessel at $140,000 Canadian Dollars 18. SUMMARY OF INSPECTION:
General Comments: This vessel is found to be in above average condition for its age. It reflects pride of ownership. The Hull as inspected was found to be in very good condition. There are minor gelcoat cracks on the deck that should be addressed as a maintenance item . The vessel has at some time in its past had extensive deck repairs completed. This is fortunate in that the deck is generally very sound. The usual deterioration of the deck area that is common with this vintage of vessel is not present. There are minor areas where cosmetic repairs could be effected . The hull to keel joint appeared sound but is in need of proper maintenance. It is noted that some minor separation is noted at the keel box and prudent maintenance would include the rebedding of the keel in the next several seasons. Mast step area is sound. This vessel has a very well documented service history. It is clearly obvious from inspecting the vessel that she has been maintained and operated by knowledgeable and conscientious owners The safety gear was not inspected, and it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all required safety equipment is on board and operational prior to launching this vessel. The vessel is equipped with a valaise packaged life raft. The raft should be inspected and a certified inspection shop sign off should be made prior to its inclusion as operational gear aboard the vessel. In general we find the vessel to be in sound condition for operation in inland and near shore waters. The operation of the vessel for extended ocean voyaging should be made only after a thorough inspection of all systems and operational equipment , including rebedding of the keel and certification of lifesaving gear.
The survey consists only of a visual examination of the external surfaces of the hull structures. Sounding and electronic testing is utilized only to indicate areas of potential concern and neither includes, nor implies, any certification that the materials and construction methods utilized meet any known standards. This survey is intended only to locate any such defects as may be apparent at time of attendance by visual inspection only. The Surveyor cannot predict how the vessel will perform over time and it is the builders responsibility to warrant the fitness of the product for its intended service. This Surveyor does not assume any portion of that warranty. JULY INDIAN Surveyed by Shaw Marine Services 905-691-6343
