VALUATION
THE VALUE IS DERIVED CONSIDERING THE EXTENT OF THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AND CONDITION OF THE VESSEL. A REASONABLE TIME IS ALLOWED FOR EXPOSURE ON THE OPEN MARKET. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE B.U.C. AND NADA PRICE GUIDES. CONSIDERATION IS ALSO GIVEN TO LIKE VESSELS THAT ARE EITHER FOR SALE OR HAVE BEEN RECENTLY SOLD. GIVEN A WILLING BUYER AND SELLER, A MARKET VALUE OF $ 82,000.00 SHOULD BE REALIZED FOR THIS VESSEL.
GENERAL REMARKS
CHEOY LEE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED YARDS IN THE FAR EAST. THE OFFSHORE 41 WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT TO LLOYDS 100 STANDARDS WITH THE INTENTIONAL USE OF EXTENDED CRUISING AND LIVE ABOARD. THE TRADEMARK TEAK DECKS AND PLENTIFUL TEAK INTERIOR ADD TO HER CLASSIC APPEAL.
“ASTRAEA” WAS PURCHASED BY HER PRESENT OWNERS IN 2005 WHO GAVE HER A TOTAL REFIT OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. THE REFIT IS FULLY DOCUMENTED UNDER THE SITE “CHEOYLEE41.COM/THE_REFIT.HTML” AND INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:
BARRIER COATING THE BOTTOM, NEW SAILS, REBUILDING THE MASTS, NEW STANDING AND RUNNING RIGGING, NEW INSTRUMENTS, NEW HEAD, NEW ENGINE, NEW RUNNING GEAR AND NEW UPHOLSTERY. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ENGINE IN 2010 AND HAS SEEN APPROXIMATELY 50 HOURS OF OPERATING TIME SINCE THEN. WORK WAS DONE BY “SVENDSEN’S BOATWORKS” IN CALIFORNIA AND WAS COMPLETED TO A HIGH MARINE STANDARD.
ALL THE SYSTEMS THAT COULD BE OPERATED WITH THE VESSEL ON LAND AND DECOMMISSIONED WERE FOUND TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE ENGINE STARTED IMMEDIATELY FROM A COLD START AND APPEARS TO BE RUNNING WELL. THE INSTALLATION AND SURROUNDING MACHINERY IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAVE BEEN WELL ENGINEERED. INSPECTION OF THE HULL FOUND IT TO BE SOUND BUT AS IS COMMONLY FOUND THE TEAK DECKING HAS REACHED THE END OF IT’S LIFE EXPECTANCY. ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING AS THE PLYWOOD CORE UNDERNEATH THE TEAK MAY BE COMPROMISED AND NEED REPLACING. THE INTERIOR TEAK LINER UNDER THE WINDOWS AND AREAS AROUND THE OUTBOARD EDGES OF THE LINER SHOW DISCOLORATION FROM DECK LEAKS OF WHICH SOME MAY BE RELATED TO THE CONDITION OF THE DECKING.
THE SAILS SHOW VERY LIGHT USE AND THE STANDING RIGGING IN GOOD REPAIR. THE MIZZEN MAST HAS JUST UNDERGONE REPAIRS BUT THE MAIN MAST IS SHOWING A SMALL AREA OF SOFT WOOD AND ELEVATED MOISTURE READINGS AROUND THE BASE. IT NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED AND ANY COMPROMISED WOOD ADDRESSED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MAINTENANCE RELATED ITEMS THAT WERE NOTED IN THE FINDINGS SECTION OF WHICH MOST CAN BE READILY ADDRESSED.
OVERALL:
THE TOTAL REFIT WITHOUT REGARD TO COST HAS DEFINITELY BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO “ASTRAEA”. AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY MAJOR EXPENDITURE WILL BE ADDRESSING THE TEAK DECKS. TACKLING THE LEAKS AND REFURBISHING ANY INTERIOR JOINERY CAN ADDRESSED OVER TIME. THE EXTENT OF THE SOFT WOOD AT THE BASE OF THE MAIN MAST CAN ONLY BE DETERMINED ONCE THE MAST IS PULLED AND INVASIVE INSPECTION PERFORMED. ANY THIRTY YEAR OLD VESSEL WITH EXTERIOR TEAK AND SPRUCE SPARS WILL NEED LOVING OWNERS AND ONE WHO IS PREPARED TO GET THEIR HANDS DIRT AS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A “TO DO” LIST.
OVERALL VESSEL RATING: VERY GOOD
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ESSENTIAL: THEY AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VESSEL AND CREW
NONE FOUND.
ESSENTIAL: THEY ARE MANDATORY IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH U.S.C.G. REGULATIONS OR DEEMED ESSENTIAL BY THIS SURVEYOR.
1. THE FOLLOWING USCG SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE: ADDRESS:
A) THE STARBOARD BOW NAVIGATION LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION. ALSO, THE STERN LIGHT WAS NOT VISIBLE. CHECK AGAIN AFTER THE SHRINK WRAP IS REMOVED.
B) THE DAY NIGHT SAFETY FLARES HAVE PASSED THEIR DATE OF EXPIRATION. REPLACE.
C) AN OIL POLLUTION PLACARD WAS NOT SIGHTED (33 C.F.R. 25.35.1)
D) A MARPOL WASTE DISPOSAL PLACARD WAS NOT SIGHTED. (33 C.F.R. 151.59)
E) DOCUMENTATION NUMBERS WERE NOT SIGHTED PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO THE VESSEL IN A READILY VISIBLE LOCATION OF THE INTERIOR AS REQUIRED.
2. AN AREA OF SOFT WOOD WAS NOTED ON THE LOWER SIX INCHES OF THE MAIN MAST ON THE PORT FORWARD CORNER. ALSO, ELEVATED MOISTURE METER READINGS WERE NOTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MAST FROM THE BASE TO SIX INCHES ABOVE THE BASE. THE MAST NEEDS TO NE PULLED AND INVASIVE INSPECTION PERFORMED.
NON ESSENTIAL: THOSE FINDINGS BASED ON THE VOLUNTARY STANDARDS OF THE A.B.Y.C. OR N.F.P.A. AND ALSO EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT OPERATIONAL. CORRECTION MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE REQUIRED FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VESSEL.
3. WATER WAS ADDED TO THE BILGE AND THE PUMP TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY BUT THEN WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER THE BILGE WATER WAS PUMPED OUT. CHECK FLOAT SWITCH AND CONNECTIONS. NOTE: THE PUMP CAN BE OPERATED MANUALLY WITH THE SWITCH AT THE NAVIGATION STATION.
4. THE JENSEN STEREO HAD POWER TO THE UNIT ( POWER BUTTON LIGHT UP ) BUT NOTHING SHOWED ON THE DISPLAY. THE UNIT APPEARS TO NEED SERVICING.
MAINTENANCE RELATED UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL HELP PRESERVE THE RESALE VALUE.
HULL AND DECK
THE TEAK DECKING HAS WORN THIN, SCREW HEADS ARE SHOWING, SOME PLANK ENDS ARE LIFTING AND THE CAULKING IS DRYING UP. THEY HAVE REACHED THE END OF THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY AND ARE BEYOND ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO BEING THEM BACK INTO GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIRTY YEAR OLD TEAK DECKS AND THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION.
THE RUDDER SHOE IS INTACT BUT IT DOES SHOW SOME SURFACE CORROSION WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE AREA INSPECTED. WATER MAY BE INSIDE THE SKEG AND WEEPING OUT OF THE FITTINGS OR ZINC BOLTS. REMOVE THE ZINC AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER
THE EXTERIOR VARNISH IS WORN AND IN NEEDS TO BE STRIPPED AND FRESH COATS APPLIED.
INTERIOR
LEAKS FROM THE WINDOWS AND PORTS HAVE RESULTED IN DISCOLORATION AND IN SOME AREAS, DELAMINATION OF THE TEAK VENEERED PLYWOOD IN THOSE AREAS. WITH THE VESSEL BEING SHRINK WRAPPED, IT WAS NOT CLEAR WEATHER THE LEAKS ARE OLD AND HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED OR ARE STILL PRESENT. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE LEAKS HAVE DISCOLORED AND LIFTED THE TEAK VENEER. ALL EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE TO ADDRESS THE LEAKS BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR JOINERY TAKES PLACE. NOTE: THE WORN TEAK DECKS MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE LEAKS.
FUEL SYSTEM
THE FUEL IN THE CLEAR BOW SECTION OF THE FUEL FILTER IN CLEAR AND FREE OF CONTAMINANTS BUT THE FUEL IN THE TANK MAY NOT BE QUITE SO GOOD IF IT HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR SOME TIME. MONITOR THE FILTERS CLOSELY AND HAVE THE FUEL POLISHED IF NEEDED.
SANITARY SYSTEM
THE MACERATOR WAS NOT POWERED UP ( SWITCH NOT LOCATED ) AND THE WASTE OVERBOARD SEACOCK IN THE STARBOARD COCKPIT LOCKER NEEDS TO BE SECURED IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN INSIDE THREE MILES FROM THE SHORE. THE HEAD INTAKE SEACOCK IS STIFF. FREE UP AND SERVICE IF NEEDED. ALSO, ALL SEACOCKS SHOULD BE LABELED.
GALLEY
THE STOVE BARELY GIMBALS WHEN THE BOAT WOULD BE ON A STARBOARD TACK. ADJUST IF POSSIBLE.
A SAFETY BAR ACROSS THE FROT OF THE STOVE IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED.
ELECTRONICS
THE C-MAP CHIPS WERE NOT ON BOARD AND ALL THREE GPS UNITS COULD NOT BE PROVEN. THEY ARE PICKING UP A SIGNAL AND SHOWING APPROXIMATE POSITIONS WHICH DOES INDICATES NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT THE C – MAPS.
ELECTRICAL
THE BATTERIES ARE STACKED SIDE BY SIDE AND SHOULD BE SPACED APART APPROXIMATELY ONE INCH TO ALLOW THEM TO VENT AND STAY COOL. A WORTHWHILE UPGRADE WOULD BE TO INSTALL A NEW 120 VOLT AC AND 12 VOLT DC PANEL IN A READILY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION. A LIGHT OR A VOLTMETER SHOULD BE INSTALLED TO INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF SHORE POWER ON THE VESSEL. RECOMMEND AT LEAST ONE GROUND FAULT TYPE RECEPTACLE BE INSTALLED IN EACH 120 VOLT CIRCUIT. ( HEAD AND GALLEY ARE RECOMMENDED LOCATION )
GROUND TACKLE
TAG THE RODE AT INTERVALS AND REMOVE IT FROM THE LOCKER SO THE BITTER END CAN BE CHECKED TO BE SURE IT IS SECURED TO THE VESSEL
SAILS AND RIGGING
THE CLEAR VARNISHED MAIN BOOM HAS A DARKENED AREA AT THE POINT WHERE THE VANG IS ATTACHED TO IT. ELEVATED MOISTURE READINGS WERE ALSO NOTED AT THAT POINT. INVASIVE INSPECTION IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF THE WOOD AND IF REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED. ALTHOUGH THE STANDING RIGGING WAS REPLACED, THERE WAS NO MENTION OF REMOVING AND INSPECTING THE CHAIN PLATES. RECOMMEND DOING THIS BEFORE ANY OFFSHORE PASSAGE IS CONSIDERED.
SAFETY
THE LIFE RAFT IS DUE FOR ROUTINE SERVICING.
THE RED / GREEN NAVIGATION LIGHTS ARE MOUNTED IN THE HULL BELOW THE RAIL WHICH DOES NOT PROVIDE GOOD VISIBILITY AND RANGE. RECOMMEND INSTALLING NEW AVIGATION LIGHTS ON THE PULPIT WITH INCREASED RANGE.
THE PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS DO NOT HAVE A MAINTENANCE TAG ATTACHED AND ARE OVER FIVE YEARS OLD. RECOMMEND REPLACING THE UNITS. NFPA 10 RECOMMENDS MONTHLY INSPECTION BY THE OWNER AND ONE PER YEAR BY A QUALIFIED PERSON ). ALSO, MOUNT THE EXTINGUISHERS LAYING LOOSE IN THE LAZARETTE.

REMARKS: THE ELECTRIC PUMP WAS CHECKED IN THE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC POSITIONS AND FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING. WHEN WATER WAS ADDED TO THE BILGE, THE PUMP TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY BUT THEN WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ( HAD TO BE TURNED OFF MANUAL WITH THE DEDICATED SWITCH AT THE NAV STATION). THE PUMP SHOULD BE WIRED DIRECT TO THE BATTERY AND THUS OPERATIONAL EVEN WHEN THE MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH IS TURNED TO THE “OFF” POSITION. THIS WAS NOT PROVEN AND SHOULD BE DONE. THE HIGH WATER ALARM CONSISTS OF A FLOAT SWITCH MOUNTED 9″ ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVEL OF BILGE WATER WHICH SOUNDED AN AUDIBLE ALARM WHICH COULD BE HEARD AT THE HELM WHEN ACTIVATED. A DEDICATED SWITCH AT THE NAV STATION TURNS THE ALARM ON AND OFF.
