INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF SURVEY
Acting at the request of Friends of Sea Scout Ship Edwin Binney, Inc., the attending surveyor did attend aboard the
1984 Starwind 27, SSS Edwin Binney, on February 5th, 2010 from 7:15 am to 1:15 am, where an “in-the-water”
Survey was conducted at Fort Pierce City Marina, 1 Ave A, Fort Pierce, Florida 34950. The reason for the survey
was to ascertain the physical condition and value of the SSS Edwin Binney.
The vessel’s papers were aboard but were expired. The Hull Identification Number, displayed at the bottom of the
page, WELE4694M84F, was verified from the transom. A sea trial was not performed. An “out-of-the-water”
inspection of the underwater machinery and the exterior of the hull’s wetted surface was not performed. The vessel’s
hull from the waterline to the sheer was inspected visually from the dock. Moisture readings taken and referenced
throughout the body of the report were taken with an Electrophysics CT-33 Moisture Meter, calibrated the morning of
the survey. Both AC and DC power was used to check the operation of the electrical systems specified in the report
only. No reference or information should be construed to indicate the evaluation of the internal condition of the engine
or the propulsion system’s operating capacity. The electronic equipment referenced in this survey was checked for
“power up” only.
The SSS Edwin Binney, was surveyed without the removal of any parts, including fittings, lining materials, screwed or
otherwise fastened boards, anchors and chains, fixed partitions, instruments, spare parts or miscellaneous materials in
the bilges and lockers, or other fixed or semi-fixed items. Locked compartments or otherwise inaccessible areas
would also preclude inspection. Friends of Sea Scout Ship Edwin Binney, Inc., is advised to open up all such areas
for further inspection. Further, no determination of vessel stability characteristics or inherent structural integrity has
been made and no opinion is expressed with respect thereto.
This survey report represents the condition of the SSS Edwin Binney on the above date, and is an unbiased opinion of
attending surveyor, but is not to be considered an inventory or a warranty either expressed or implied.
NOTE: It is recommended that Friends of Sea Scout Ship Edwin Binney, Inc. have the engine surveyed by
a qualified Marine Diesel Engine Mechanic to determine the condition of the engine, gears and pumps,
transmission, and other machinery components. Additionally it is recommended that all electrical systems
and components, both AC and DC, be surveyed by a qualified Marine Electrical Technician.
This survey was completed using as reference the federal regulations and amendments issued and
enforced by the United States Coast Guard under the authority of Title 33 and Title 46 of the United
States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR's). In addition the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)
and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-302) voluntary standards were used as reference during
the survey. These ABYC and NFPA voluntary standard practices are generally followed by most vessel
manufacturers today.
