Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 performance Boat for Survey

Todays Pre-Purchase Marine Survey Assignment was in Cleopatra Marina in Preveza. This lightly used and professionally maintained yacht was a testament to its owners,

The Sun Odyssey 439’s hull is solid, hand-laid fiberglass, while the deck incorporates a balsa core and is fabricated using Jeanneau’s proprietary Prisma injection-molding process. This technique allows Jeanneau to closely monitor the amount of resin going into the fabrication, which results in an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

A fiberglass grid set into the lower part of the hull helps accommodate rig and keel loads under sail, and supports cabinetry, the cabin sole and other belowdecks structures. The single rudder is fabricated with a composite stock, and 1x19 stainless steel shrouds and a manually adjustable split backstay support the double-spreader deck-stepped mast. Chainplates are inboard, alongside the low cabintrunk.

Boats for sale Preveza, Yacht Surveyor

Buying your first boat is usually a significant purchase and slightly daunting. Buying any boat, can be a significant investment. My role as a Marine Surveyor is to look over all aspects of the boat and report on its condition, systems and what needs doing. My reports are in plain English and are often used to discuss prices with the broker, raise finance and obtain insurance. You already know how important a comprehensive and thorough survey is. 

From me you will get my “plain English” approach with feedback on your potential purchase. Rest assured my surveys are fair, realistic, pragmatic and explain to the potential purchaser all my findings. I never scaremonger, I simply seek to provide a fair survey, that assists the purchaser and the broker, and ensures the purchaser buys with his eyes open. I work with yourself and with brokers to suit required timescales and reporting requirements.

Pre-Purchase Marine Survey in Preveza on this 2001 Bavaria 50

This weeks assignment a Pre-Purchase Marine Survey in Preveza on this 2001 Bavaria 50. Both above and below deck just feels really spacious and well laid out, with everything you could need both close to hand and easily accessible.

With all this space and 5 generous sized cabins there's plenty of room for friends! Also, it's no problem if not all your friends can sail - this boat can easily be handled by just 1 or 2, due to a furling headsail, in-mast furling mainsail and bow thruster for tighter marinas as required.

It was definitely time for a new owner for this attractively priced, comfortable and spacious cruising yacht. Built very strong in this period of the Bavaria boatbuilding story. Great price for such a big boat at 90K Euro.
