Looking for new Yacht Insurance after Brexit?

If you have recently had to change Insurance Company after Brexit and they are now requesting a Condition Survey and Valuation, I can help you.

Our Insurance Survey 

When you want to insure a boat, or have to renew an existing policy, your insurance company will need an Insurance Survey in order to determine its insurability for the intended use. This type of survey is often referred to as a Condition and Valuation Survey. The scope of an Insurance Survey approaches a Pre-Purchase Survey, but its focus is on structural integrity and safety and it is less detailed. An assessment of the boat's Fair Market Value is part of this type of survey. 

An Insurance Survey requires several hours, depending on the complexity and condition of the boat. My survey report is similar to a report for a Pre-Purchase Survey, but somewhat less detailed.

We guarantee a 48 hour delivery of a personalised and comprehensive survey report in PDF (electronic) format with a bound quality hard copy to follow on request.​ 

Pre-sale Survey on this Brise De Mer 38ft Aluminium Sloop with Yacht-surveys-greece

I was back in Aktio Marina in Preveza this morning Surveying this Brise De Mer 38ft for an English client. Built in 1987 by Chantiers Le Guen Hemidy in France.

Fantastic builders without the hard chine you'd usually expect

She will probably need an electric winch, but I did like this retractable idea! 

Ultrasound Thickness Measurement's showed hull to be totally as original in 5mm aluminium plate. 

No chine!! 

Though durable, these Cutlass bearings will wear out, and then they must be replaced to avoid annoying vibrations or, worse, shaft, log, or strut damage.

Engine was ran up and a short test was carried out with a water supply! 

Surveyors comments: A long-distance cruiser, well built and of a good design and construction. Ideal for a couple starting into the industry who would like the peace of mind of a strong yet responsive Yacht. Priced at 40,000 Sterling! 

Yacht Survey for Pre-sale in Preveza / Ionian Islands

Todays assignment was in Cleopatra Marina in Preveza on this Classic Hellberg Rassy 43 Mark ii version. Beautifully built these Bluewater Cruisers. The hull is laid-up in a split mould and the halves are joined at the centreline. The deck moulding goes on before the interior is fitted out which means that what goes in can come out again. If there is a serious problem with anything it can be lifted out through the main hatch.

The boat shown here was fitted with in-mast furling mainsail, one of a number of options for the main. Sailors tend to have strong opinions about mast and boom furlers, but the set-up on this boat, which included powered winches, enables you to sail alone with ease.

These comfortable cruisers are not cheap and don't stay on the market long in this condition!

Pre-Purchase Survey Greece - Yacht Surveyor - Dragonfly 1000 for sale

Just a reminder for readers. I will be in Lefkada and Preveza for at least 10 days from mid April 2021. Covid should not be a problem as we travel with a fully authorised work permit. 

This weeks assignment was in Leros Surveying this Trimaran.

The Dragonfly 1000 was designed for easy and safe single-handed sailing. All controls for sails, centreboard and folding floats are operated from the cockpit. A windshield protects the helm station. 

The Swing Wing system allows the floats to be winched alongside the main hull, reducing the beam by about 50%, making handling round piers, docks and marinas easy and allowing the boat to fit in a standard marina berth. 

A kick-up rudder and centreboard reduce the risks of causing damage when sailing in shallow water.

A rotating mast is standard, increasing the efficiency of the rig and contributing to her exceptional performance. An even livelier version is built with higher mast and carbon rigging for the more experienced and speed-loving sailors.

 The superior build gives the boat full off-shore cruising capability (rated with European CE Mark Category A).
