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!

I am a long established independent UK Yacht and Marine Surveyor based near Athens Greece, specialising in the field of yacht surveying and consultation. I have been Marine Surveying boats since 1995. By 2022 I have completed over 3700 surveys, which have included 100's of types of sail and power boats. I carry professional indemnity insurance cover and I have been a member of the International Institute of Marine Surveying for over 20 years. We provide a range of Marine Surveys including Pre-Purchase Surveys, Hull Surveys, Systems Surveys, Sea Trials, Insurance Surveys, Damage Surveys, Valuation Reports and Finance Surveys.

With many years of experience representing interests of both Purchaser and Vendor, we are fully aware of the problems which may arise in the process of purchasing a vessel.

Jeanneau Sun Oddysey 39i for Marine Survey for Insurance

Todays Survey assignment was on a small island in the north Aegean called Leros. The municipality includes the populated offshore island of Farmakonisi, as well as several uninhabited islets, including Levitha and Kinaros and had a population of 7,917, although this figure swells to over 15,000 during the summer peak. Nearby islands are PatmosLipsiKalymnos, and the small islands of Agia Kyriaki and Farmakos

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i shares many of the qualities of the 39 DS. Thanks to a generous beam carried well aft, interior volume is greater than one would expect on a 39-footer. The boat’s a breeze to operate under sail or power: The helm is light, and the boat responds obediently to a flick of the fingers on the wheel.



















Next stop is Preveza starting from May the 5th 2022, so if you have your eye on a yacht in Preveza, Nidri, Lefkada drop me a message at steventruss1@aol.com
