II. SCOPE OF SURVEY Marinetech, Inc. examined the above named vessel at the request of XXXXXXX The fair market value specified on the first page was derived from commercially published used boat price guides, condition of vessel and other means. The vessel described in this report was inspected for compliance with National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), and the State of New York. The survey consisted of visual observations via available spaces and inspection ports, percussion testing, moisture meter readings, and voltage/resistance measurements with multi-meter. The purpose of this survey was to determine the physical condition and approximate market value of the vessel. This survey does not address the vessel’s stability characteristics and inherent defects, internal condition of machinery, or items that cannot be readily observed without intrusive removal of headliners, flooring, and panels, which would cause damage to the vessel. This report is based on an out of the water inspection while suspended in stands.

III. CONDITIONS An inspection was conducted on 06/09/07. The weather was drizzling, approximately 65F, 95% relative humidity and winds from the SE at 10 MPH. A second visit was made on 6/15/07 to check moisture measurements. The weather was sunny and 75ºF with 70% humidity.

IV. OVERVIEW

The Trintella 38 was built in Holland at the Anne Wever Yacht Yard.. She has a rounded hull with a lead encapsulated keel. Forward and aft cabins sleep two each. The main mast is a deck stepped single spreader mast head rig. The mizzen is also deck stepped. This auxiliary sailboat is powered by a 50 HP 4-cylinder Yanmar diesel. The rudder had a full skeg with upper and lower bearings attached to the stainless steel rudderpost. There is a stainless steel grid encapsulated within the rudder and welded to the rudderpost. The decks are covered with screwed-in teak planks. This vessel in better than average condition for that year model. Marinetech Inc., Page 4 of 23

VI. HULL CHARACTERISTICS AND STRUCTURE

The hull is a modified rounded bottom constructed of FRP solid laminate with longitudinal and transverse stringers that are glassed over. The keel is made of lead, glassed over and the rudder is attached to a full skeg with upper and lower bearings, made of FRP and cored. An overall examination of the hull was conducted with emphasis on checking for delamination, moisture intrusion and collision damage through percussion testing and moisture meter readings. No problems were found except for the delaminated rudder described on next page. The gel-coat is in good condition with few scratches.

Photo 3. Propeller, rudder.

Thru-hulls were examined and found to be in good condition and securely fastened with enough sealant contacting the hull. The hull was randomly tested with an Electrophysics GRP-33 moisture meter. No excessive moisture was noted. Some slightly moist readings were noted near the water line but this is often seen with boats that have been just hauled out. Rudder appeared aligned and parallel with keel. No play was found in cutlass bearing and very little in the rudder. These findings are considered normal. Strut appeared well attached to hull with no movement detected. Marinetech Inc., Page 6 of 23

Propeller is a 3-blade and made out of bronze together with struts. The shaft is made of stainless steel. No damage was noted with these items.

ROUTINE

FINDING RECOMMENDATION Slight separation of stainless strip from rub rail.

Fasten.

PREVENTIVE

FINDING RECOMMENDATION Rudder core is moist and de-laminated from rudder skins.

Replace rudder.

DISCUSSION: This rudder has a full skeg with upper and lower bearings that are attached to the stainless rudderpost. There is a grid of stainless ribs inside the rudder that are welded onto the rudderpost. For this reason it is unlikely for the rudder to completely come apart from metal frame and post. However, it is possible for parts of the rudder to fail and come lose in heavy weather since it appears de-laminated based on percussion testing. FACT: A delaminated rudder does not posses the original design strength of a laminated rudder. OPINION: The rudder should be restored to original design strength by replacing. Loss of ability to steer in heavy weather could be catastrophic. Replacement is therefore advisable. Marinetech Inc., Page 7 of 23

VII. DECK, HELM, CANVAS AND GROUND TACKLE

The decks are constructed of FRP and cored. Deck is then covered with teak decking which is screwed on to deck. Moisture measurements with Electro Physics GRP-33 moisture meter revealed moisture in about 50% of decking. Moisture seems to have intruded from missing bungs in teak deck and bare screws. Deck feels solid and rigid with no flexing noted. PREVENTIVE

FINDING RECOMMENDATION Moist readings on approximately 50% of deck area.

Remove all teak deck and take moisture measurements on fiberglass to see if moisture has intruded into core.

DISCUSSION: Moisture always seems to penetrate teak decks that have been screwed into the deck fiberglass. Teak decks are therefore no longer screwed in place, they are epoxied on new construction. Unfortunately, moisture often finds its way into the deck core underneath the fiberglass. The only way to find out extent of water intrusion into deck core is to remove teak deck and take moisture readings. If this investigation reveals a moist core, the repair would be to cut out the outer fiberglass skin, replace core and epoxy skin back on. Considerable gel-coat work would be required to cover cut marks . Marinetech Inc., Page 8 of 23

Another option would be to have deck painted after repair or epoxy teak veneer to repaired deck to avoid expensive gel-coat work or painting.

SAFETY FINDING RECOMMENDATION No seizing wire installed in shackle pins attached to anchor.

Rig wire tightly wrapped around shackle and pin to keep pins from accidentally coming lose.

There are 3-hatches on deck. One near bow, 20” X 20”, one behind mast 25” X 20”, and one is in the afterdeck, 20” X 20”. Hinges, stanchions, anchor roller and life-lines were securely attached and in good condition. SAFETY FINDING RECOMMENDATION Slight bend on mizzen stay turnbuckle lower threads portside.

Replace fitting. Do not try to straighten threaded stainless standing rigging fittings.

DISCUSSION: Bent threaded fittings on standing rigging should not be straightened, should be replaced to maintain original strength.

SAFETY FINDING RECOMMENDATION Load for most standing rigging fork fittings is on cotter pins because they are spreading..

Compress forks to take load off cotter pins. Also see discussion.

DISCUSSION: After carefully compressing fork fittings with properly set vise-grips, check to make sure alignment of chain-plate is in-line with stay and not causing this problem. Reportedly, there are two more anchors on board, a 35lb aluminum Danforth and a 60lb Fisherman´s anchor. Steering is achieved through steel rods and mechanical gears. Both masts are deck stepped. Mast footings look fine and compression post underneath in cabin also appears without problems. All standing rigging appears to have been re-done using Norseman fittings which are generally considered to be more reliable than swage fittings. A rigging inspection was conducted from deck level. Reportedly, an aloft inspection was conducted a couple of years ago in Spain. The plexi-glass windshield is well attached to deck and in good condition. Two Barlow 30 Genoa winches were noted starboard and port. The mast looked straight with no visible problems as viewed from deck.

VIII. PROPULSION AND MACHINERY

XVI. SURVEYOR’S SUMMARY OPINION I have attempted to provide the facts as observed without prejudice and minimal opinion. Numerous photographs and objective detail was incorporated in order to have the reader form his own opinion of this vessel. The following statements are strictly the subjective opinion of the surveyor to assist the lay reader in interpretation of the facts reported and illustrated… This vessel was observed in above average condition mechanically and cosmetically. This vessel is suitable for intended use after safety findings are corrected.

XVII. DISCLAIMER Inspections are conducted in a thorough and professional manner with due care and diligence. No assurance can be made, however, that every deficiency will be discovered. The facts as discovered and presented in our written report should not be deemed a guarantee or warranty, either expressed or implied, for the boat, the machinery or equipment. All observations are strictly in the nature of opinion and may be subject to further qualification. Given today’s complicated marine systems, few surveyors can be considered experts in all matters.
