Jerome Rand cancels a planned offshore passage from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico aboard a Tayana 37 after discovering significant structural rot. The vessel’s primary bulkhead shows extensive decay extending to the base, a defect that passed a previous professional survey. Additional red flags include disconnected hoses, unused through-hulls, and the absence of a dodger. While the boat features a new mainsail, functional staysails, and recently replaced chain plates, the structural integrity of the bulkhead renders the vessel unseaworthy for open-ocean transit. The inspection process involved gutting the interior, removing headliners, and rewiring the electrical system to expose hidden damage. Prospective buyers should mandate that a seller clear all personal gear from a boat before a survey to ensure full access to bulkheads and cabinets. Independent verification of a vessel’s condition remains critical, as reliance on a surveyor connected to a broker can lead to overlooking major structural failures.
