GENERAL. It is important to check the inventory very carefully. Look in every nook and
cranny. The factory is usually very careful and pack all that is supposed to come with the
yacht. However, the workmen who do the packing are skilled at putting things where no
body would think to look. We have had customers discover parts as much as nine months
after the yacht was delivered, and they thought they knew every locker in it.
RIGGING. You may find that some sail cutting is necessary as indicated in the list. You
will be expected to arrange and pay for such things as shortening the foot of a staysail
while SOUTHERN OFFSHORE YACHTS will take care of such things as sail slides
which may be off-size or major sail modifications should they be necessary.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Make sure that the green bonding wires are connected to all
metal parts such as chainplates, through-hulls, and tanks. Also, be sure to put a zinc on
the shaft as this is not done at the factory.
PLUMBING SYSTEM. The most critical item is the installation of a propane system if
this is part of commissioning on your particular yacht. This system must be done
correctly to insure safety. If you are unsure, it would be best to hire professional help.
MACHINERY SYSTEM. Most people have never aligned an engine and this is apt to be
the most difficult problem. Here again, if one cannot do the alignment with confidence,
professional help should be obtained. The yacht's power train will not be warranted if it is
found that a failure was due to misalignment.
MISCELLANEOUS CHECKS AND INSTALLATIONS. The most common question is
what constitutes minor damage and blemishes. A general rule that is loosely applied is
that if the damage were too small to be economically reported to an insurance company it
would be repaired as part of the commissioning at no extra cost. Commissioners build
this potential extra work into their estimates for commissioning. Some examples of work
which would be expected of the commissioning crews (and the owner/commissioner)
would be repair of gelcoat scratches, small (say a few inches) gelcoat chips, teak damage
which might require minor scarfing, varnish scratches which require revarnishing of say
10 square feet, refinishing minor-scrapes and blemishes on a spar finish. Things that
would be beyond commissioning and would be covered by SOUTHERN OFFSHORE
YACHTS would include structural damage, major dents in spars, blemishes that require a
major refinishing job such as repainting the deck. Note that these are examples only-
each situation would have to be dealt with in a case by case basis.
SEA TRIALS. A sea trial must be done with SOUTHERN OFFSHORE YACHTS
personnel aboard. The commissioning job will be inspected, all systems will be tested,
and if the work is deemed satisfactory the warranty coverage will be undertaken. If some
item(s) are not done properly, the warranty will not apply until satisfactory adjustments
are made.
