Priviledge 39 1990 catamaran Sailboat

Description

CLEAN TRANSFERABLE USCG DOCUMENTATION PAPERS

​ZEELANDER Catamaran located in N. Miami

High winds blew the vessel off her anchor and she hit stern first up a coral reef in Spanish Wells the Bahamas.

Physical damage:

The coral Reef ground the rudder posts out of the vessel and bent the rudder shafts as well as damaged the fin at the back of the rudders.

Both hulls were holed. 2 wholes per hole. Total of 4 holes. The holes were in the aft two taking the rudder posts out, and two behind the rudder postes on the slope upwards towards the transom.

The engine were flooded with salt water. [ I have done my best to remove the injectors and pickle the yanmar 28 hp with diesel fuel. The engines are original and are 28 years old. they should be removed and rebuilt, however i do believe the Transmissions are good.

The vessel was was submerged bow up. With the forward bulked-ed anchor lockers appeared to keep her afloat. Points way up high.

The cabins were generally flodded, but seem to have survived in good shape

Zeelander was submerged for Approximately 24 hours.

​R and B Marine salvaged her. Robert pulled her on his flat lift, where the fiberglass repairs were preformed by Christopher the Spanish Wells Fiberglass pro.

Structural:

​Privilege 39

Yes the Headliner is falling has failed and or is stained. The headliner does not smell, or apear salty, even after being submerged. The boat does not have that sunk boat odor. Under the headliner is a foil back, water sealed fabric insulation. The Foil backed foamie insulation is fantastic and serves as a heat barrier to the baking Bahamian sun.
There is a little leaking around the large windows as the caulking may fail and require renewal as is common in older Privileges. Yes I have some of this in hard rains, however they look easy to caulk with automotive windshield sealing glue.
I pulled all the lines and equipment out of the front locker behind the Windless. The floor was Hard as rock, despite having been damp, for what appears, by the size of the cockroaches
I cleaned out the chain lockers forward to inspect for any soft spots in the glass hull layup. There were none.

Moreover I put my foot and walked the chain-locker to see if there is any sponginess to the floor of the chain locker: NONE

What functions on the boat at this time?

Equipment as in electronics are shot.

Sails look good/ New sailcovers

Stays were recently replaced and upgradded. Stays were recently upgradded to larger than original. The old stays are still on deck.

Anchor Windless work, was not submerged.

Wiring looks relatively good. Benateau employed the highest quality that I have seen.

Coffee Grinder windless all work and ratchet fine.

The electric assisted coffee grinder for the mainsail is not functioning.

​Stove is not functioning,

Dock water is functioning.

Tank fresh water is presumed to not work: electric pumps are visibly salted and corroded.

Moreover, the Privilege 39catamaranhas two 28hp Yanmars with three blade fethering props. The driveshafts were cut when the fiberglass work was done to close the holes.
The vessel has fixed aluminum tanks which feed each engine. The yanmars are installed 1 or 2 inches from the tanks, placing the flywheels up against the tanks.

I was considering putting outboard brackets on her and bypassing the inboard instillation.
