Marine Survey SAMPLE Pilot Cutter THOMAS K. ROSE SOCIETY OF ACCREDITED MARINE SURVEYORS AMS #1158 Consulting and Marine Survey Inc. Master 1600 Ton Oceans (/Master Towing Oceans /First Class Pilot (Ret)– Captain USN (Ret) 575 Antonson Lane NE, Poulsbo WA 98370 – [email protected] - 360.633.0045 www.poulsbomarinesurvey.com VESSEL SURVEY REPORT OF THE VESSEL “SPICER” 1985 Bristol Channel Cutter (Samuel Morse) This survey sets forth the condition of the vessel, including the hull, machinery, equipment, fittings and outfit, to the best of the surveyor’s ability without the removing of bulkheads, paneling ceilings or other portions of her structure, and without taking borings to ascertain thickness of structure, testing for tightness, and without opening up machinery or auxiliaries for internal examination. Mechanical and electrical equipment condition is determined to the exterior surface of the equipment. Inspection of sailboat rigging condition is limited to six feet above the deck and downward. This survey report represents the honest and unbiased opinion of the surveyor, but in no event is to be considered a guarantee or warranty of any kind. Further, no determination of stability characteristics has been made and no opinion expressed. This report is a summary of the findings of the survey performed on 22 October 2018 for Mr. David Oliver with the sole intent to determine the condition of the vessel for purchase, insurance, and finance. One electronically transmitted copy is provided. No other copies are authorized. The report contains proprietary information that is intended for the sole use of Mr. Oliver and is not sellable or transferable in any manner or form.

Oliver & Sarah Tunstall Present Owner: Katherine and Adrian Martinez Attending: Above + Mr. Mike Mullenberg (buyers agent) Waters Navigated: Puget Sound and the sheltered waters of British Columbia East of Cape Flattery and South of Hope Island. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The hull of SPICER is hand laid uni-direction glass roving and matt … largely non-cored with encapsulated lead ballast consisting of lead ingots cast in layers. The bulkheads are ¾”+ marine ply which are all full double tabbed into both the hull, deck and cabin sides. Initial tabbing is a generous 8”+ with a secondary layer about 6”. The vessel has 5 partial and full bulkheads. The deck is comprised of ½” alternating marine ply and fiberglass. The rail is bolted via an extrusion to hull casting by stainless bolts and sealed with 3M 5200. All deck and rigging fittings are robust and fully backed. The mast step, bilges, voids and longitudinal stringers are solid. The interior and exterior joinery work is to high professional standards utilizing full cut hardwoods. The cabin, storage, and access is well thought out, the systems easily accessed (unless noted), but maintenance has been neglected due to the owners schedule and distant living. The BCC design has a well regarded history of performance … with many hulls making extended ocean voyages. This vessel has documented cruising offshore … but doesn’t exhibit any of the major associated wear. 2 Type of Service: Pleasure Date of Last Dry-dock: 2008 Builder: Samuel L. Morse Co.

  • Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer
    Origin and Rebirth of “BABE”, an S&S 30 Daysailer Excerpts by Danielle Abbott, S&S Naval Architect and Glenn Walters, Managing Partner, Bluenose Yachts Before his death at age 100, the co-founder of Sparkman & Stephens chose a 1935 sloop—one of the smallest of S&S’s many ocean racer/cruiser designs—as the yacht he most wanted to update. In 1935 Olin Stephens, the design half of a Manhattan design-and brokerage firm started by Stephens and yacht broker Drake Sparkman six years earlier, drew up plans for a custom 30' 6" (9.3m) ocean racer for the Miami–Nassau and St. Petersburg–Havana races. Named Babe, she was a forward-thinking boat for the time, with short overhangs and light displacement, just barely meeting the requirements of the Southern Ocean Racing Conference. Accommodations were secondary: a simple galley, portable toilet between berths, and a single pipe berth forward. Her large sail plan had a high- aspect ratio for that period, and the boomkin made an extra-long boom possible without a lengthy stern overhang. Listed by S&S as Design No. 97, Babe embodied trends that would later drive modern cruising and racing yachts. Her length overall was the minimum allowed for the ocean races in which she was to participate, making her an agile and responsive racer. To compensate for the lower stability of a small boat, the beam was made “almost one-third of her waterline length,” wrote Stephens (in his book Lines, mentioned below) “more than most larger boats” of the pre-WWII era.

  • H.M.S Victory 1805
    H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line. This, the fifth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Victory, had three major battle honours. The first being the Battle of Ushant 1781, the second, the Battle of St. Vincent 1797 and the third, for which she is most famed, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. By the end of the Battle of Trafalgar, there was not a mast, spar, shroud or sail on board Victory that had not been severely damaged, lost or destroyed in the conflict.

Slice the dowel (running with the grain), from a round at the start point of the taper to a square at the end of the taper. 2. Repeat this process so that the dowel runs from round at the start of the taper to an eight sided polygon at the end of the taper. 3. Repeat step two as desired so that the dowel runs from a round at the start of the taper to a 16 or 32 sided polygon at the end, of a diameter marginally more than that required.

  • Handling Storms at Sea : the Five Secrets of Heavy Weather Sailing
    HANDLING STORMS AT SEA Overleaf: What is blue-water sailing really like when it’s stormy and big seas are running? Here’s my Santa Cruz 50 hurrying eastward near Marion Island in the Southern Ocean. The ever-faithful windvane is steering nicely while I play with the mainsail reefs and adjust the sails as the boat races through the water and makes great whooshing sounds as she surfs forward on a wave. You know that the yacht will rise up as the next crest comes, but sometimes you wonder if she is buoyant enough. You take a deep breath and say a silent prayer.
