My last Survey in Missalongi, Preveza before heading back to Samos is this very popular American boat with traditional styling, a small mast behind the bridge, she has a straightforward aft cabin layout, the Mainship 40 was built on a solid glass hull with average beam 14' and fairly high freeboard. She has a old-fashion downeast profile, her performance and interior accommodation is similar to those of a modern motor yacht. The salon is particularly spacious, there's a convenient breakfast bar, which takes up little space. Both staterooms are arranged in the conventional manner. There is a tub/shower fitted in the aft head! Outside, the aft deck guest seating is provided aft of the helm. The Mainship 40 will cruise at a respectable 12 knots with 200-hp Perkins diesel engines.
Welcome! I have been surveying boats since 1995, and by 2024, I have completed over 3800 surveys, encompassing a wide range of sail and power boats. Email me: Steve Truss at: steventruss1@aol.com. What can I help you with?
Thinking about buying or insuring a boat in Preveza Greece??

Bavaria 42 Yacht Survey and Valuation at Aktion Storage Yard in Preveza
Today's second inspection in Aktion Storage Yard in Preveza was this Pre-Purchase Survey and Valuation on this 2007 Bavaria 42 'C' Sailing Yacht.
Bavaria comments: A BAVARIA boat combines boat building tradition,
German engineering and the ability to manufacture yachts precisely to the
millimetre with the use of modern industrial production facilities. From bow to
stern, every BAVARIA is a perfect combination of the highest quality, the best
materials and the most innovative state-of-the-art fittings and equipment
available in yacht building today.
Surveyors comments: Bavaria is in boats what Ford was in automobiles!

Prout Catamaran Survey in Preveza
I had a good flight from Samos to Preveza via Athens. I set off at 730am and was here mid afternoon. I have three inspections to carry out over the next five days. This Prout built 39 foot Catamaran, an Escale model from 1993 being my first.
The Prout 39 is built for blue water cruising and passage-making. Although the price per foot is more than a monohull, the p catamaran design, introduced in 1991, is descended from a long pedigree of ocean cruising designs from Prout, such as the Quest 31 and 33, Event 34, Snowgoose 35 and 37, and the Ocean Ranger 45.

The shallow draft (3 feet 3 inches) allows you to cruise areas where most vessels cannot venture. |

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.
