Jeanneau Sunfast 39 for Yacht Survey Leros Greece

Todays Survey assignment was an Insurance Survey on this Jeanneau Sun Fast 39, designed by Jacques Fauroux and built by Jeanneau in 1991.

She is a more performance oriented version of the Sun Charm 39. This one had some keel issues, and had probably been aground at some stage.

Cracked structural frame's, indicating upward pressure from the keel

Time for new gas hoses!

Significant corrosion to the keel bolts. Why? 

Teak planking detached from sub deck

Spot the key-way on the steering quadrant. The key has come out!

Todays Marine Survey in Nidri Preveza

‘Glaros’ was originally built as a Caïque, (a traditional fishing boat) usually found among the waters of the Ionian or Aegean Sea. Today, this type of vessel, varying in size are popular for tourist charters. Caïques were built on the foreshore in a shipyard from pine wood. 

20 years ago the owner stripped her out for a major refit.

Nidri is full of wooden boats under repairs!

Found yourself a Wooden boat in Greece and need a Survey, please drop me an email.

Three Marine Surveys in the Ionian Islands

I think the late 'winter nights' on-board 'Christina' marketing the new website  www.yachtsurveysgreece.com has paid off, as some interesting jobs are coming in from all corners of the Greek Islands. Next Wednesday im flying off to Preveza and Messolonghi for five days to Survey a 2006 Bavaria 42, a Prout Catamaran and a 1985 Mainship Nantucket 40. An interesting group of boats. The Prout Cats are a well-known build. The Prout family began building cats in the 1950s, and their boats have been well known and respected in the United Kingdom and Europe for half a century.

The Snowgoose 37 is not, by any means, a lightweight. The displacement of more than 5,600 pounds is heavier than some modern monohulls of a similar length. The early hulls, which include molded stub keels, are solid fiberglass, while new models are solid below the waterline and cored from the waterline north. The bridgedeck is solid, and although this adds weight it also provides rigidity between the hulls that a single crossbar can't match. The deck on the older boats is balsa cored, while some newer boats have been cored with other materials.Over the next two weeks i have one older and one newer model to survey. The one in the picture is the Elite model with the cored hull.
