A professional delivery crew aborted a 600-mile transit from Westport, Washington, to San Francisco after discovering the 38-foot wooden trawler was unseaworthy.3:31 Upon arrival, the crew found the engine’s turbo-to-exhaust coupler severely corroded and fitted with an incorrect gasket, preventing a reliable seal.6:37 Further inspection revealed two inches of black oil in the bilge, an expired 2017 fire extinguisher, and a six-man life raft that expired in 2018.10:49 The vessel, a former fishing charter, lacked a functional galley, settees, or a seated helm, forcing the crew to stand for the entire duration of the passage.9:44 The crew identified a high risk of fuel system failure due to long-term neglect and sludge buildup in the diesel tanks, noting that only one spare fuel filter was available for each system.12:38 The delivery was canceled because the vessel could not safely complete an ocean passage.14:20 Owners should ensure vessels are seaworthy before hiring delivery crews and must independently hire a marine surveyor to avoid conflicts of interest.22:05
