Pre purchase surveys/inspections
Independent yacht, launch and boat surveys (inspections) for timber and composite vessels. Clear communication and detailed reports supported by tables and images communicate the condition of vessels.
We use visual observation, percussion (tap) testing, and electronic analysis tools to determine structural condition.
Fast turn around – typically within 3 days.
Insurance inspections
Vessel condition reports – usually for renewal of over 30 yr old vessels.
This service has been developed for owners of vessels that require a condition report for New Zealand insurance purposes:
- Simple succinct typed report format on a template identifying general issues with summary of condition
- Not a full survey
- Risk and safety based approach – focused on the main structural and system condition areas but also conveys general condition
- GRP (fibreglass), composite, timber, alloy, steel
- Out of water lift, clean and hold required, time required depends on vessel size – the rest can be done in the water, or alternatively the whole inspection can be done on a hardstand such as during routine out of water maintenance.
- Fast turn around, reports ready within 1-2 days
