Değerli Korsanlar,
Bu topiği okurken 3.teknemi aldığımda yaptırttığım sörvey ve raporunu kullanarak banka kredisi alışım aklıma geldi.Doğrusu banka dahi, bir sörvey raporunun nasıl yapılacağı ve raporda neler bulunması gerektiği hakkında bilgi sahibi değildi.(Yaklaşık 13 yıl öncesinden bahsediyorum)
Sörveyimi kendisi de yelkenci ve tekne sahibi olan bir eksper dostum yapmış ve çok detaylı bir rapor hazırlamış idi.Sanırım o banka epeyce bir süre bu raporu emsal olarak kullanmıştır:-)
Arşivimi tarayarak elimde bulunan Canada da yapılmış bir sörvey raporunu örnek olarak aşağıda sizler ile paylaştım.Biraz uzunca ama ben 4.teknemi alırkende, tekne almaya niyetlenen kursiyerlerimize destek verirken de hem bu rapordan ve hemde kendimize yaptığımız .... nokta kontrol listesinden aldığım fikir ve kişisel deneyimlerim ile ile çalışmayı uygun bulmuştum.(Aman Dikkat: Ben ne eksper,ne sürveyor değilim.)
Sayın Soygür'ün "Kısacası; prensip olarak sörvey hizmeti olmaksızın tekne almamak gerekir. Alıcı tekneden önce, sörveyörünün teknik alt yapısını, kariyerini, akreditasyonlarını, mesleki sorumluluk sigortasını incelemeli; özellikle brokerlerin veya tekne sahibinin fazlaca tavsiye ettiği sörveyörlerden uzak durmalıdır. " cümlelerine yürekten katılıyor ve küçük bir ilave yapmak istiyorum.Sörvey edilecek amatöre ait tenezzüh teknesinin ( Dikkat Gemi değil) GRP,Saç,Alimünyum,Ahşap,Ferro Cement hasılı hangi malzemeden yapıldığına ve Yelkenli veya Motor yat olmasına bağlı olarak ek uzmanlık ta aranması önemli gibi geliyor bana.
Saygı ve Selametle,
Not :Aşağıdaki raporda bazı bölümler tarafımdan xxxx şeklinde değiştirilmiştir.Anlayışla karşılayacağınızı düşünüyorum.

SURVEY PERFORMED ON BEHALF OF:
SURVEY YAPTIRAN ADI……………….
SURVEY YAPTIRAN ADRESİ…………….
Following are the results of a PRE-PURCHASE/CONDITION/VALUE survey performed on the vessel, “TEKNE ADI ” a Beneteau 350 auxiliary sailing vessel located and dry stored at SURVEY YAPILAN YER . A sea trial was performed with the buyers, and broker aboard. The result of the sea trial was satisfactory.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The vessel was dry stored for an unknown time prior to bottom inspection. GRP-33 moisture meter readings were in the low range compared to wet laminate (see: UNDERWATER MACHINERY AND BOTTOM section). Weather conditions were cool and damp. As a whole, the vessel was found to be in good condition with the exception of items listed. The structural condition appeared satisfactory; there were only a few common irregularities and some minor crazing in the gelcoat. Time allowed for surveying is limited. It is prudent to have the performance of all equipment tested for a suitable period of time under full load to better determine condition.
INTENT OF SURVEY
This survey is intended to report observations only. The findings should be considered prior to any agreement or purchase and used as a guideline only for obtaining cost estimates from reliable experts in the categories mentioned. No cost estimates are inferred in this document. The value of the vessel is based on market interest, in upgraded condition considering completion of the essential and reccommended items, unless otherwise noted. The purchaser must consider personal experience and willingness to obtain additional information from experts regarding full discernment of the observations. Please be sure that any questions regarding the observations are made prior to your decision.
INSURANCE STATUS:
With full compliance of the attached essential repair list, "TEKNE ADI" in my opinion, will be an acceptable risk for hull underwriting purposes. With the recommended and essential repairs attended to, and the normal safety gear and precautions are adhered to, she will be an able vessel for inland and coastal waters. If the vessel is going offshore for an extended cruise, significant readying and prudent seamanship must be considered.
STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR VALUATION:
The surveyor/appraiser has inspected the vessel both inside and out made a local market inquiry with comparable boat builders, brokers, and manufacturers. All available publications, database and areas available that may apply or furnish an unbiased, unprejudiced opinion as to the estimated fair market value of this vessel have been considered.

GENERAL PARTICULARS
The purpose of this survey is to determine the vessel's general integrity and condition, and evaluate all accessible machinery, major structural members, hull, deck, thru-hull fittings, bulkheads, underwater machinery, bottom, plumbing, electrical and fuel systems. Also the mast, standing and running rigging, (observed by eye, and through a 25 X 50 power glass), sails and steering, to establish a fair market value. Following is a full condition/value (CVS) survey report, complete with a list of: "recommendations" (RR), "essential repairs" (ER), and items noted as "required" (RQ), "proved" (P), "not proved" (N/P). Some highlighted items may require regular maintenance or additional attention. Any reference to recommended service or repair outside the scope of intent of this survey is offered as practical advice. Therefore, also included are cues for "service" or "as required". These may be part of "essential" or "recommended" categories, but are intended as practical advice. It is not this surveyor's intention or responsibility to instruct the client regarding maintenance requirements during the course of the vessel's use. All requirements are noted, but not necessarily under respective categories. Note: This report is not meant to detail all inventory and apparatus functions.
The use of Moisture Meters is intended to create a base line or to confirm results of percussion sounding. Moisture Meter readings are subject to influences that may present erroneous data. The results must be kept in perspective.
PROPULSION & MACHINERY CONDITION:
The Volvo engine was inspected and found to be in serviceable condition. The engine compartment was clean and well ventilated and accessible from the companionway and aft cabin. Ventilation hose should be secured adjacent to shaft (ER). The engine thru-hull and ball valve, was double clamped. The exhaust system from the iron riser and water injection with vented loop to Vetus water lift muffler is in fair condition (ER). The startup was reluctant after extended storage (ER). Unburned fuel residue and white smoke were observed while at idle dockside (ER). The engine alarms proved. Heat exchanger was in satisfactory condition. Engine zincs, compression test, oil analysis not ordered. Engine coolant was outside of the range in reservoir (ER). The resilient engine mounts were in satisfactory condition. Belts and controls were in satisfactory condition (RR). The engine responded normally to all controls. Operating temperature under load was recorded at 125°. The shaft log S/S clamps and the dripless shaft seal appeared in good condition. The overall general condition and performance of all machinery seemed satisfactory.
NOTE: It is suggested that a competent marine engine specialist perform a complete engine survey should a more inclusive engine analysis be required.
GEAR: Volvo RATIO: NA MOUNTS: Bolt On
The Volvo gear appeared to be in satisfactory condition and should be serviced per manufacturer's instructions (RR). Gear lubricant was believed to be oil, no analysis was done. Shaft coupling was secure.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that when a vessel changes hands that all machinery be fully serviced, if for no other reason than to give an accurate and reliable time frame for future routine maintenance (RR).
FUEL TANKS & FUEL SYSTEM:
The fuel tank is constructed of stainless steel and located under the quarter berth. It was vented and secured. The tank vent presently incorporates a “trap” and should be re-routed to allow for proper venting (ER). The system appeared to be liquid and vapor tight to the hull interior and was equipped with approved fuel lines and shut-off at tank and fuel filter. A three-psi aerostatic test was not performed on the fuel tank system, nor is it recommended. The secondary water separator fuel filter was a.
Fram canister style (RR).
NOTE: Tanks must be filled to discern structural integrity, and make certain fills, vents, and pickups are satisfactory (ER).
MAJOR STRUCTURAL MEMBERS:
HULL TOP SIDES:
The hull topsides, inspected visually and by sounding with a phenolic hammer, appeared to be in good condition, disclosing only small voids or irregularities, but none that were structural or necessitate repair at this time. The gelcoat is in good condition however it was heavily oxidized (RR). Vinyl striping tape is chafed and faded (RR).
NOTE: Topsides are the portion of the hull between the sheer (hull to deck joint area) and boot or waterline.
DECK:
The deck mold was inspected visually and by sounding with a phenolic hammer. Its condition is average for a vessel of its age.
Two small areas of moisture intrusion adjacent to large fixed lights on deck should be further evaluated for repair (ER).
There is some moisture under the teak planking for cockpit seats. Teak planking installed in this fashion invariably allows water intrusion. The decks seemed satisfactory in finish and condition. No signs of deck coring moisture intrusion could be observed in the normal survey. The integrity of teak planking and core condition can only be determined by destructive testing, which is advised should more analysis be required.
NOTE: We refer to this area as the complete deck mold less hardware.
DECK TO HULL JOINT:
The deck to hull joint is inspected visually where accessible.
The joint showed no sign of working or water entry.
BULKHEADS:
Bulkheads, where accessible, were inspected visually. Although the liner covered certain areas of the interior, visible bulkheads and fillet bonds showed no signs of working, rot, deterioration, or delamination. The taping is secure (bulkhead to hull bond); all fillet bonds were properly wetted out and showed no signs of peeling, parting or cracking.
UNDERWATER MACHINERY & BOTTOM:
The bottom of the hull was inspected, sounded with a phenolic hammer, and found to be without visible structural deficiencies. The bottom was observed to be without obvious signs of osmotic blistering*. Further observed were the keel, rudder, rudder fittings, thru-hull fittings and three blade bronze propeller 17”D x 12”P(ER), via 1” stainless steel shaft, and cutlass bearing. No evidence of corrosion on the shaft, or cutlass bearing (water lubricated shaft bearing) was noted. Corrosion was observed on the propeller and the forward keelbolt and washer where ground strap was attached has been affected by corrosion (ER). The cutlass bearing is in serviceable condition. NOTE: Shafts cannot be inspected within cutlass bearings, stuffing boxes, couplings and prop hubs. The shaft and propeller were running true. A barrier coat has been applied. The bottom should be prepared, and a new coat of anti-fouling paint applied (RR).
NOTE: There are no FRP hulls that are totally exempt from osmotic blistering. GRP 33 moisture metering was in the midrange (dry laminate 0-6% wet laminate 18%+, this vessel averaged 8-10%). There are varied reasons that cause blistering such as, immersion time, water temperature, inherent environment and original material quality. Although there were no visible signs of blistering or delamination, there can be no guaranty against future manifestation. A properly completed blister repair seems to enhance the value and integrity of any hull.
* Blistering (Osmotic Blistering) is a general term used to categorize a condition where FRP degrades under water. This degradation is caused by water penetrating the gelcoat and reacting chemically with resins or binders in the laminate. Once this condition is present, pressure builds up and inevitably blisters are born. Ranging in diameter, they may become visible. Blistering is usually found on the underwater portion of the hull or immediately above the waterline. Empirical data (visual, percussion and moisture metering), may not always disclose a laminate condition.
UNDERWATER MACHINERY AND BOTTOM CONT’D:
The surveyor’s observations and opinions must be kept in perspective. The only definitive measure of laminate moisture or delamination content is destructive testing (HULL PROFILE). A hull profile may be ordered separately from this inspection. It should be performed by a qualified FRP specialist, to further determine the condition of the laminate. Additional cost and time is involved, along with owner’s permission.
FRESH AND RAW WATER PLUMBING:
The vinyl/PVC mixed plumbing lines, valves, hoses, tanks, pressure water pumps, water heater and thru-hull fittings incorporating the plumbing systems were examined and proved where possible. Service all underwater ball valves (RR).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
The AC and DC electrical systems were examined and tested with all items proved when possible. The main 12-volt electrical panel and system was equipped with a vapor-proof battery selector switch. The two group 27 batteries were not installed in acid proof containers(ER). The batteries were secure, and the terminals protected. Positive battery connections were not protected by over-current protection fuses (ER). There was no AC electrical panel. AC wiring appeared to be designed for European 220 volt/50 Hz system(ER). Though the shore inlet has been upgraded to 110 volt/60Hz requirements, the outlets are of European configuration with no GFCI capability (ER). Polarity was not tested. Lightning grounding braid from port chainplate to forward keel bolt was corroded and broken. The ground point to keel at forward keel bolt was observed to have advanced galvanic corrosion associated with ground point to keel (ER) The wiring installation as a whole was not to proper marine standards.
* Most vessels over five years old will require some upgrading or replacement of electrical components as part of normal maintenance. The ABYC recommends ongoing improvements regarding requirements. Be sure to inspect the AC and DC systems regularly and consult a qualified marine electrician for advice.
ELECTRONIC AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT:
The electronic and auxiliary equipment aboard the vessel and proved at the time of survey unless otherwise indicated by a (N/P=not proved) include:
1) Uniden vhf radio
2) Datamarine Depth, Speed (RR), Wind, Trip Log
3) Anchor windlass, Achilles inflatable, Battery charger
MAST AND RIGGING:
The mast, boom, standing and running rigging were inspected from on deck and through a 25 X 50 power glass. The 1 X 19 stainless steel standing rigging is satisfactory. Tune the rig and lubricate turnbuckles (RR). Upgrade running rigging (ER). Service winches and all sailing hardware (ERR). Lifeline toggle on starboard side gate was distorted and should be replaced (ER).
NOTE: A portion of the rigging or lifelines is utilizing cotter rings in lieu of cotter pins. In my opinion, they are not reliable as split cotter pins (RR).
SAILS:
A cursory sail inspection includes all sails on board and if possible, hoisting of mainsail and unfurling jib if applicable to the vessel. Sails observed the time of survey included:
1) Roller furling genoa
2) Mainsail with cover.
NOTE: Sails can not be inspected as in a repair loft, actual condition must be judged by a qualified sailmaker.
DECK GEAR & JOINERY:
All deck gear and joinery was inspected and found to be in fair condition. Rebed deck hardware, including baby-stay attachment and port aft side light (ER). Main cabin fixed deck lights should be replaced where broken and re-bedded (ER).
INTERIOR JOINERY:
The interior, including joinery, cushions and headliner were in good condition for a vessel of its vintage with only minor exceptions. Vinyl headliner in aft cabin was pulled and should be secured (RR) Area lighting fixtures were missing switches and/or bulbs (RR).
GALLEY:
A 2-burner LPG stove and oven, located in the galley, was gimbaled and well installed. The safety solenoid switch (panel) was mounted in the main control panel (ER) and the regulator, solenoid valve, and approved hoses/fuel lines were placed in the propane locker. The LPG tanks are properly vented, drained and secured. Leak test the LPG system (ER). There is also 12 volt refrigeration and a S/S sink with pressure hot and cold water. <<
CAUTION: DRAINS IN PROPANE LOCKERS MAY BE PLUGGED OR OBSTRUCTED BY DEBRIS. IF THIS OCCURS, LEAKING PROPANE FUEL IS UNABLE TO ESCAPE AND IGNITING OF THIS FUEL IS POSSIBLE. CHECK DRAIN AND VENT BEFORE EACH USE.
MARINE SANITATION DEVICES:
The vessel was equipped with one standard manual head complete with porcelain bowl, telephone shower, and Type III marine sanitation device (a mechanism that is designed to prevent the overboard discharge of treated or untreated sewage or any waste derived from sewage). The holding tank was constructed of acceptable material, well vented, and the required plumbing, raw water supply, and Y valve fits current installation standards. The head was inspected and proved at the time of survey.
FIRE:
Fire equipment on board at the time of survey included: two dry chemical units located in the main cabin galley area and cockpit. Fire extinguisher charge indicators registered in the green (usable range) but did not carry current certification tags. (USCG rules require professional inspection and certification every two years. See "REQUIRED" category.)
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
The safety equipment inventory required by the USCG is incomplete for the vessel's length and passenger carrying ability, eg., PFDs, flares, whistle, bell, first aid kit etc. (see "REQUIRED"). Safety equipment on board this vessel included:
1) PFD’s, horn, Flares (June 07), Lifesling, horseshoe buoy
NOTE: It is the captain's obligation to insure all safety equipment as required by the USCG is provided and aboard the vessel at all times.
BILGE PUMPS:
The vessel is equipped with one automatic electric bilge pump equipped with float switch. The electric pump was not proved to be wired and fused outside the main 12-volt electrical system so each will function when the vessel is unattended, and the main battery selector switch was in the off position (ER). These pumps are controlled from the main console and equipped with a visual dash light indicating activation. Pump is functioning, in good condition, and of sufficient capacity.
VENTILATION, ACCESS, BILGES:
Ventilation to most areas of the vessel is good, as it is to the engine room. The living area ventilation is acceptable with the hatches open. Access to the bilge is satisfactory.
NAVIGATIONAL AIDS & LIGHTS:
This vessel was carrying navigational lights as prescribed in the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea or in inland waters. Running, steaming and anchor lights are properly shielded and functioning.
ESSENTIAL REPAIRS:
The essential repairs, in my opinion, include all repairs and corrections necessary to restore and maintain the original integrity of the vessel. If these items are not attended to, it may lead to further damage or deterioration effecting the condition of the vessel, and endangering those aboard or near the vessel. The principles and practices used as guidelines are from the American Boat and Yacht Council, National Fire Protection Association and the United States Coast Guard. ABYC information may be obtained by phoning 410-956-1050, or E-mailing

NOTE: It is prudent to anticipate some investment in fuel polishing, battery replacement, rigging adjustments and systems upgrading for a vessel that has been stored for any length of time. Even when a vessel has been commissioned not all requirements may have been fulfilled. Before making passage, all systems must be proved under full load or use for a greater period of time than allowed in a normal survey. Be sure to follow all good seamanship and prudent cruising habits.
Repairs of boats and marine equipment often exceed expectations and estimates. It is advisable to obtain several estimates from qualified repairers.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommendations represent changes that affect normal comfort and safety functions. The vessel's intended usage is considered in making these determinations. Implementing these suggestions is recommended as part of a practical ongoing maintenance program. Other recommendations in the report marked (RR) do not necessarily appear on this list.
NOTE: Bilges should be flushed and cleaned on a regular basis. (Do not flush into restricted waters).
NOTE: When using bedding compounds or marine sealants, be certain to purchase the proper marine product for the task. For instance, basic silicone is not recommended as a bedding compound for active hardware such as stanchion bases, cleats. Use 3M 5200 or Boatlife Lifecaulk.
1) Service engine and transmission per manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Service all fuel filters, Install clear bowl “Racor” style fuel filter to better monitor fuel condition.
3) Compound and wax topsides; clean and buff decks.

THE REQUIREMENTS & INFORMATION BELOW ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND CONSIDERATION
NOTE: Hoses for marine use should be labeled with the standards classification, either SAE, Coast Guard, NMMA, ISO, UL or Lloyd’s; the manufacturer’s identification number, usage, the year manufactured plus other classifications as specified for each particular application. The construction should meet the need.
Be sure that the hose ends have the same inside diameter, have satisfactory wall thickness (thin-walled hose easily kinks and has poor abrasion resistance). Be sure that hoses are reinforced with wire or synthetic yarns. Marine-rated hoses are readily available, use the best product to avoid failure. Since 1999, flexible rubber hose, bellows and elbows used in wet exhaust systems must comply with SAE J2006 standards and be so labeled. This means that the hose is temperature-rated at 593°C (1,100°F) for two minutes, the equivalent of running the engine at full power for two minutes.
Hoses that circulate engine coolant water must resist kinking, heat, antifreeze and oil. A heavy-wall, two-ply rubber hose, with or without wire reinforcing, is recommended, or substitute premium automotive black heater hose or blue silicone hose, both rated to meet SAE J20 standards
Gasoline and diesel fuel hoses must meet certain specifications (USCG TYPE A and B, UL 1114, SAE 1527, ABYC H-24 & H-33). They must be installed correctly and securely. Correctly sized inside diameter and fittings with crimped on ferrules, or 100% stainless steel clamps (double if possible without over lapping or beyond barb ends). Proper thread sealant on NPT threads must be used. Hoses must be safe from crushing, puncture, abrasion and kinking. They cannot be exposed to excess heat. All fuel system hoses and piping must be inspected for leaks, damage and age deterioration regularly.
A breach in a hose can flood or sink your boat. Use the best hose possible. Use only hose recommended for "below water line" connections constructed with a wire spiral helix reinforcement to prevent kinking, restriction and collapse under low pressure. A heavy wall rubber raw water hose with 2-ply and wire helix reinforcement is the best. Smooth vinyl hose with a hard PVC helix may also be used except where heat is a factor.
A. Required refers to items or equipment deemed necessary by the following regulatory bodies: United States Coast Guard (USCG, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). The following list identifies those areas of minimum requirements for the prevention and elimination of fire and explosion, safety of life measures, adequate ventilation and exits aboard this vessel.
B. Per the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, a placard stating "DISCHARGE OF OIL PROHIBITED", must be conspicuously mounted in the engine room. Secondly, according to Annex V of the "MARPOL TREATY," an international law promoting a cleaner, safer environment, a warning notice reading "NO PLASTICS OR GARBAGE DISCHARGE" must be displayed in a conspicuous area within the vessel. It is illegal for any vessel to dump plastic trash anywhere in the ocean or the navigable waters of the United States, Violation of these requirements may result in civil penalties up to $25,000 fine and punishment. State and local regulations may further restrict the disposal of garbage. (These placards are available at marine stores.)
C. Extinguishers recommended for the "engine compartment" shall be located near an entrance to the compartment rather than the compartment itself. EXCEPTION, Fixed Systems such as a Halon 1301 or CO2, carbon dioxide must be USCG approved and must incorporate a visible or audible means outside the protected space indicating the system is charged or discharged. Systems may be manually and/or automatically discharged.
The NFPA and USCG require that it shall not be necessary to travel more than half the length of the vessel to reach an extinguisher. Other rules and variables apply to engineered or pre-engineered systems installed in accordance with the USCG and NFPA installation manuals.
On boats having galley stoves, one of the required extinguishers of a suitable type shall be readily accessible.
D. IGNITION PROTECTION: ***DEFINITION ONLY***
The design construction of a device, such as battery selector switch, that under operating conditions will not ignite a flammable hydrocarbon mixture surrounding the device when an ignition source causes an explosion or is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical energy to ignite a hydrocarbon mixture. The source of ignition must be hermetically sealed to prevent such occurrences.
Caution: PROPANE LOCKER DRAINS: Check all propane lockers drains to insure they are unclogged, free and clear to allow liquid and accumulated propane gas to escape.
E. It is the captain's obligation to ensure all safety equipment as required by the USCG is provided and aboard the vessel at all times.
F. E.P.I.R.B. - "WARNING: It is unlawful to transmit a distress signal unless an emergency exits. This unit broadcasts such a signal on the international distress frequencies which alerts government monitoring stations, military, FAA, airline and Coast Guard aircraft."
