"Housekeeping and general appearance are excellent, in the undersigned opinion having witnessed this vessel's construction from beginning through completion. This vessel as found is in far better condition than when she was new...

On inspection of accessible areas this vessel exhibits excellent shipwright procedures were followed throughout, exhibiting custom joyner work throughout her interior, providing a sound structure that has endured over four decades of extended sailings. Her bilge areas were found to be dry, clean, and coated with protective coatings, engine space is likened to that of a hospital room, spotless, with all white protective coatings. Her exterior coatings were found to be in Bristol condition showing no evidence of damage and/or wear and tear."
