This is an inspection of the vessel’s structural integrity, stringers, bulkheads, joints tabbing, cosmetic appearance and cabin amenities and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic), using percussive testing and a GRP Model 33 Moisture Meter. Check the vessel’s AC/DC wiring, and electrical equipment for power up, the vessel’s propulsion system, rigging and sail system, running gear, water and fuel systems; also USCG and safety equipment.
