Yacht Surveyor in Piraeus Greece - Pre-purchase surveys

_Yacht Surveyor

	Pre-Purchase Survey



	I do not do walk through surveys or brief reports. I like to spend enough time on board to make a very detailed inspection. Then I will spend several days to produce the report. I am very interested in your safety on the seas and that you do not purchase a yacht without having as much information as possible in hand.

	The survey will examine the condition of the following items, where applicable :

	1. Keel
	2. Hull below Waterline
	3. Topsides
	4. Deck Moulding
	5. Coachroof
	6. Cockpit
	7. Hull to Deck Join
	8. Bulkheads and Structural Stiffening including Internal Mouldings
	9. Rudder and Steering
	10. Stern Gear
	11. Cathodic Protection
	12. Skin Fittings and other Through Hull Apertures
	13. Companionway and other Access to Accommodation
	14. Ports, Windows
	15. Pulpit, Stanchions, Lifelines, Jackstays
	16. Rigging Attachment Points
	17. Ground Tackle and Mooring Arrangements
	18. Davits and Boarding Ladders
	19. Spars
	20. Standing Rigging
	21. Running Rigging
	22. Sails and Covers
	23. Navigation Lights
	24. Bilge Pumping Arrangements
	25. Fire-Fighting Equipment
	26. Lifesaving and Emergency Equipment
	27. Engine and Machinery Installation
	28. Fuel System
	29. Accommodation - General condition
	30. Gas Installation
	31. Fresh Water Tanks and Delivery
	32. Heads
	33. Electrical Installation - 12v, 24v, 220-240v
	34. Electronic and Navigational Equipment
	35. Heating, Refrigeration and Aircondition Systems

	For GRP yachts the survey will include moisture testing. I have good knowledge and experience of GRP defects.

	The Report

	The report will be delivered by email as a PDF file and will be 15-20 pages text and about 50 pages of photographs (2 per page with captions). Usually it is ready 2-3 days after the survey.

	Sample Report

	If you are considering to appoint me, please ask for a sample report. Comparing sample reports is the only way to choose a surveyor.
