2022 Aquila 44 Yacht

Hulls were inspected above and below the waterline visually and using percussion testing

(sounding with a mallet). Primary considerations were structural integrity and condition

of laminate, condition of through hulls and condition of gel coat.

Structurally good. No signs of delamination were found. There were no "hard spots"

where the structural components are joined to the hulls.

Through hulls were inspected, good condition and secure to the hull.

Rub rail secure to the hull and in good shape.

Cosmetic condition of the gel coat is good, no major blemishes.

Bottom was inspected for signs of osmotic blistering, none were visible.

Bottom paint is adequate at this time.

Deck was inspected visually and using a moisture detection device. Inspection was done

with the following criteria: condition of deck laminate, moisture content of deck core, and

condition and attachment of fittings and cleats.

Good condition throughout. No signs of structural cracking or delamination were found.

There were no voids in the laminate evident.

Moisture meter testing was done in random areas with a Tramex moisture detection device

using the relative scale. Readings were low wherever checked.

Drainage from the deck is good.

Cosmetic condition of the gel coat is good, no real crazing or cracking in gel coat.
