Following the sea trial, a sample of engine oil was taken and sent away for chemical analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vessel of this size and complexity often has quite a number of skin fittings (through-hull fittings). This particular boat had over 30, many of which were located below the waterline. Some of these were fitted with old, unreinforced hoses and many valves were corroded or very stiff. Recommendations for the replacement of these were made in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climbing the mast of a Hallberg Rassy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very last task of the survey was to climb the rigging. Although there was ice on the mast, making my hands sore &amp; numb, I was able to identify a number of fine cracks on the stainless steel hardware that secured the cap shrouds to the mast head. Whether the new owner wished to take her ocean cruising or simply use her for weekend cruising, he was glad to know that these defects had ben found in good time and could be repaired before a more costly and dangerous failure occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in seeing examples of survey reports of similar sailing yachts, <a href=\"http:\/\/njmoore.co.uk\/fys\/recent-surveys\/sailing-yachts\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to the&nbsp;Hallberg Rassy 49, designed by&nbsp;Enderlein &amp; Rassy The pre-purchase survey of this boat took place over a period of two and a half days.
