Recent Surveys

Jeanneau 479, Cleopatra Marina, Corfu - Greece

I recently surveyed this Jeanneau 479 for one of my long distance clients in Australia. This is a Great looking boat, which the owner purchased through Matt at CREO Yachtbrokers, and the owner is now busy getting ready for some beautiful Mediterranean Cruising prior to starting the long adventure home.

Moody 54DS, Nautica Ranieri, Bari - Italy

Fabulous Moody 54DS. Surveyed in Bari for one of our US clients, as part of the work we carry out under our Adriatic Marine Surveys umbrella. We carry out many surveys in Italy, Croatia & Montenegro and have a good working relationship with many of the yards up and down the Adriatic. If you need a survey or assistance in the Adriatic area we're always onhand to assist.

Lagoon 42, Cleopatra Marina, Corfu - Greece

This fantastic Lagoon 42 was recently surveyed for one of my Canadian clients and was fully kitted out for some big adventuring. This big Cat really had it all, with a large owners cabin and all the mod cons, she had been very well maintained by the previous owner and was ready to give her new owners a fabulous base from which to explore the Mediterranean and beyond.

I survey many Catamarans every year from Sicily to Split and beyond and always happy to receive new instructions to look at these vessels in closer detail.

Jeanneau 50DS, Gouvia Marina, Corfu - Greece

Probably one of the cleanest Jeanneau 50DS i've ever had the pleasure to survey. This vessel was purchased through Mark at Network Yacht Brokers in Corfu and had been meticulously maintained by the owners and was extremely well kitted out. My Canadian clients plans to instal additional solar, and with a water maker already onboard, this was the perfect boat for these wonderful clients who were planning of working and sailing from the boat for the next few years!

Beneteau Oceanis 55, Cleopatra Marina, Preveza - Greece

I carried out an Insurance Survey combined with an rigging inspection on this vessel for my Australian clients.

I frequently get asked to carry out periodic insurance surveys by clients. Being one of the few YDSA (Yacht Designers & Surveyors Association) surveyors operating in Adriatic and Mediterranean area, spring tends to be a very busy time of year for insurance surveys!

Pearson 42, Cleopatra Marina, Aktio - Greece

Lagoon 400, Cleopatra Marina, Aktio - Greece

Jeanneau 42DS, Ionian Marina, Preveza - Greece

Hylas 46, Cleopatra Marina, Preveza - Greece

A vessel close to my heart, being the owner of Hylas 44. Both the 44 & 46 are great boats!

My American clients found himself in a tricky situation with his insurance company requesting a last minute insurance survey on this vessel before offering him fresh cover to go sailing. A number of sea cocks did require replacement which I was able to help organise, and he was able to enjoy his summer cruising with his family.

Hansa 575, Lefkas Marina - Lefkas - Greece

The Hanse 575 is built in Greifswald, Germany, to Germanischer Lloyd SE’s ocean-going classification standards. The GRP hull includes a balsa core and is hand laid using polyester epoxy for all inner laminates and Vinylester resins in all outer laminates to resist blistering, as well as an Isophthalic gelcoat.

All bulkheads are laminated to the hull and the deck, while a composite sub-frame adds structural rigidity. The keel is attached using a combination of stainless steel bolts and backing plates. Shoal- and deep-draft versions are available. The deck is balsa-cored and also hand laid with a Vinylester outer layer, and polyester for the majority of its laminate.

Jeanneau 54DS - Gouvia Marina - Corfu - Greece

The 54 DS gives a big, multi-level cockpit where the working area aft is separated from the lounging areas forward. You get a big saloon, galley and navigation area, and cabin space.

The Jeanneau 54 DS looks good, it feels substantial, it is easy to sail and it is capable of many roles. It looks and feels like a minisuperyacht and carries as much marina cachet as would a custom yacht of the same size.

We were asked to conduct a full Pre-Purchase survey and Sea trail ahead of purchase.

Morgan 462 - Cleopatra Marina - Preveza - Greece

The Morgan 462 is a big, clunky, center cockpit ketch that, unlike the rest of the Morgan series, is fairly heavily built at 30,000 lbs. A weight-to-length ratio of 2:3.

The hull is a solid laminate while the deck is balsa cored. The chain plates are bolted to the hull sides rather than to plywood bulkheads that inevitably rot out from leaks, so this was not a problem. The rig is well setup and generally without fault.

We were asked to conduct an insurance survey and rigging check for the current owners.

GibSea 43 - Gouvia Marina - Corfu - Greece

The Gib'Sea 43 was designed by Olivier Poncin and J & J design, and shares the distinctive styling of several other models, including the Gib'Sea 33, 37, 41 & 51. These boats all share the "delphinière" - a dolphin nose shaped mini-bowsprit that continues the deck line outboard to house a self-stowing anchor.

The solid GRP hull is laid up with isophthalic resins and with Tawron aramid (kevlar) reinforcement, with a balsa sandwich deck and GRP inner mouldings. She has an iron bulbed keel and spade rudder.

The Gib'Sea 43 is one of the beamiest monohulls of her length, and this gives a saloon which was described by 'Yachting Monthly' as ".... saloons don't come much bigger and brighter than this".

Jeanneau Voyager 41. Lefkas Marina - Lefkada - Greece

Designed by Guy Ribadeau Dumas in the late 80s, the Jeanneau Voyager 41 was the big sister to the Voyager 37.

The Voyager 41 was a highly successful production vessel of the cruising class. With its aft cockpit this displacement cruising yacht with a fin and skeg had a sloop rig with alloy mast and boom. The auxiliary engine was a 45hp Perkins diesel, with shaft and single propeller. With a substantial internal matrix and moulded GRP finished in while gel coat.

These 80s Jeanneau's are wonderful cruising yachts!

Hanse 495, Cleopatra Marina - Preveza - Greece

This Hanse 495 was surveyed in Cleopatra Marina, Preveza. Greece. The 495s hull is solid hand-laid fiberglass below the waterline with balsa core in the topsides. The deck is also cored with balsa, while the hull is stiffened with a solid fiberglass grid.

Both the hull and deck are laminated with isophtalic gelcoat and vinyelseter resin to resist blistering, and the standard T-shaped deep-draft keel cast in iron.

The overall construction quality of the 495 is very good.

Moody 38, Margarona Marina - Preveza - Greece

Nauticat 33, Ionian Marina - Preveza - Greece

A Nauticat 33 surveyed for pre-purchase in Ionian Marina, Preveza. The 33 is a heavy displacement long-keel ketch with a fibreglass moulded superstructure, including a central wheelhouse. It also features safe, high bulwarks, an easily handled low aspect ratio rig and a powerful diesel engine driving a big three big bladed prop.

The design was updated in 1978 to include the new fibreglass moulded superstructure, which gives a more modern appearance and significantly reduced the maintenance requirements.

Marvellous boats which are still in production, with almost 1,300 having been built in almost half a century.

Jeanneau 36i, Ionian Marina - Preveza - Greece

Moody 36, Aktio Marina - Preveza - Greece

This Angus Primrose designed Moody 36 built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, with a distinctive centre-cockpit layout and wide-beamed hull design allow for ample accommodation with large forecabin with well-appointed heads compartment that separated from the saloon, and separate aft cabin.

These have proved themselves versatile, strong and reliable cruising sailing yachts over the years.

Finnsailer 38, Aktio Marina - Preveza - Greece

A very large and comfortable, center-cockpit, 38-foot motorsailor from the Oy Fiskars AB yard, constructed to Lloyds specifications.

The beamy hull gives plenty of space down below, with the inner steering position in the semi enclosed wheelhouse in high coamings giving good shelter with all round visibility.

These are solidly made, great cruising sailboats with a lot more space than most boats of comparable length.
