Additional Comments:
This boat is in excellent condition both inside and out and is meticulously maintained through an on-going management contract, which has been in effect since new. The boat is also fully crewed and has been since new. There is a full strict maintenance plan in place covering all equipment from domestic (grease traps, air-conditioning, grey water systems, water-maker, filters etc.) - through electric, navigational and mechanical. This is carried out through a daily-cycle systems check over a two week rotating schedule. Fuel filters are replaced every 50 hours and separator filters are replaced with the same frequency. These cycles are bet ter than OEM requirements and reflect the careful consideration of the owner in maintaining the boat in excellent sea-worthiness condition at all times. Engine corrosion prevention anodes are checked every two weeks and replaced whenever required. The owner maintains a large inventory of spares again reflecting his desire to have all systems working at maximum efficiency. All service related work is carried out by the respective OEM’s for all equipment - with the last recent recommended service for engines and extracapacity generator being carried out in January 2017. Finally, the boat is hauled-out yearly for full anti-foul protection renewal, anodes replacement and the checking of propellers and steering gear. The Boat recently was subject to a comprehensive survey from industry-leading surveyors covering all the operating systems and safely equipment onboard. This was conducted in February 2015 and signs-off the boat for the next two years. This is required as per the terms of the registration process. All automatic fire-suppressant systems and fire extinguishers - and all safety equipment including life jackets and breathing apparatus - were checked and verified for operational effectiveness and found to be both in order and satisfying industry regulations. The boat also carries a life raft which has just undergone its annual check in June 2017. On the appearance side the owner insists on keeping the boat in excellent condition with regular brightening of full teak decks and polishing of all get-coated areas at least monthly. The teak side decks were replaced with the more robust 15mm teak in 2015 and the remaining 6mm teak areas were replaced with the 14mm teak in March 2016. The exterior seating is covered with the latest Princess upholstery andwas re-covered in June 2016. Fender socks are maintained and replaced as a minimum every six months.On the interior furnishings, the owner maintains a full set of carpet covers and has factory-ordered replacement carpet and seating material in stock as a result of his desire to maintain the boat in as factory-new condition as possible. Finally, the owner is very safety-conscious and carries additional safety equipment including lamps, replacement bulbs, additional life jackets, gas-monitoring equipment, PLBs, thermal blankets and two grab-bogs located in both the boat and the tender. He has also equipped the boat with additional back up charging facilities for the electrical system and extended the anchor chain from the standard 40m to 80 meters in length. Overall, this is a fine example of the model and is as near a new boat as once could expect based on its current condition.
