Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Offshore readiness is not defined by how much equipment a yacht carries. It is defined by what the yacht and crew can still do after something important has failed.Preparing a Motor Yacht for Offshore Cruising gives owners, skippers and technically engaged crew a practical framework for turning an intended voyage into a defensible readiness standard.Rather than treating offshore preparation as a shopping list, this book connects the voyage, machinery, electrical generation, fuel, steering, flooding control, domestic services, safety equipment, people, procedures and evidence. It shows how to identify critical functions, expose single points of failure and shared dependencies, plan credible degraded modes, and prove the yacht through maintenance, dockside testing, sea trials and a shakedown passage.Inside, you will learn how to: - define the voyage, operating profile and readiness threshold- identify critical functions and hidden dependencies- assess propulsion, fuel, electrical, steering and flooding resilience- plan maintenance, spares, tests, drills and shoreside support- structure dockside proving, sea trials and a shakedown passage- record residual risk and make a disciplined departure decisionThe book also includes a complete worked example following M/Y Meridian's preparation for an Atlantic mission, together with eleven practical worksheets covering mission planning, dependencies, findings, endurance, spares, drills, communications, weather, departure control and early-passage monitoring.No checklist can certify every yacht as safe for every ocean. This guide instead helps make assumptions visible, test the functions that matter, record residual risk and reach a more defensible departure decision.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A motor-yacht refit can begin as a manageable list of jobs and quickly become a network of hidden defects, access problems, changing interfaces and competing decisions. Without a clear scope and effective controls, cost and schedule can move long before the owner sees the consequences.Planning and Controlling a Motor Yacht Refit gives owners, captains and owner's representatives a practical system for turning survey findings, maintenance requirements and improvement plans into a controlled, buildable project.This guide explains how to: - define the yacht's mission and required completion state- separate safety, compliance, reliability, capability and preference- create clear work packages and acceptance criteria- build realistic budgets, contingencies and programmes- compare yard tenders and establish sound commercial rules- control discovery, change, quality, progress and contractor performance- manage commissioning, sea trials, handover and warranty workA worked refit of the fictional M/Y Atlas demonstrates the method from the first project brief through to final handover. Sixteen practical appendices provide adaptable briefs, registers, specifications, tender tools, schedules, change forms, inspection plans and completion records.A refit is not merely a collection of jobs. It is a controlled change to an operating vessel. This book shows how to keep that change visible, defensible and under control.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An older motor yacht can offer exceptional capability, character and value-but the purchase price is only the beginning.Behind a well-presented exterior may be years of deferred maintenance, obsolete equipment, incomplete records and interconnected defects. Equally, a long survey report does not automatically mean that a yacht is a poor purchase. The real challenge is understanding which findings are manageable, which could fundamentally alter the project, and how much uncertainty remains.Buying an Older Motor Yacht provides a structured, engineering-led method for separating a viable yacht project from a potential money pit.Written for prospective buyers and owners of older motor yachts, trawlers and explorer-style vessels, this practical guide explains how to: - Define what the yacht must actually be capable of doing- Assess age, condition, maintenance history and quality of ownership- Conduct a disciplined first viewing- Recognise warning signs in hull, deck and structural areas- Evaluate propulsion, fuel, cooling, exhaust and lubrication systems- Review electrical generation, batteries, distribution and control systems- Examine steering, stabilisers, thrusters, bilge and fire-protection systems- Identify domestic-system and electronic obsolescence risks- Prepare effectively for surveys, haul-outs and sea trials- Turn technical findings into realistic refit exposure- Understand access, dependency, yard and commissioning costs- Negotiate from evidence-and recognise when to walk awayThe book also contains practical appendices covering first-viewing checks, pre-survey evidence requests, findings registers, acquisition-cost modelling and questions for specialist inspectors.This is not a repair manual or a replacement for a competent marine surveyor, engineer or other specialist. It is a technical decision guide designed to help buyers ask better questions, interpret evidence more clearly and understand the complete proposition before committing to a yacht.Alastair Brazier draws upon experience in Royal Fleet Auxiliary marine engineering, private-yacht maintenance and installation work, and Ministry of Defence vessel trials and technical assessment.A yacht does not need to be perfect to be a sound purchase-but its condition, limitations and likely costs need to be understood. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A motor-yacht sea trial should do more than demonstrate that the yacht can reach its advertised speed. For a prospective buyer, it is a structured opportunity to gather evidence about how the vessel and its systems behave under realistic operating conditions.The Motor Yacht Sea Trial explains how to plan, observe and record a trial so that it answers the questions that matter before purchase.It covers: - defining the trial scope, operating limits and stop conditions;- establishing a genuine cold-start and alongside baseline;- generators, electrical sources and hotel loads;- departure, manoeuvring and progressive loading;- cruise performance and full-power operation;- propulsion, drivetrain, vibration, cooling and exhaust;- steering, controls, thrusters and stabilisation;- navigation, communications, alarms and domestic systems;- engine-room observations under load;- return, shutdown and post-trial inspection;- turning observations into proportionate follow-up actions.The book also includes a worked sea-trial example, practical diagrams, a planning brief, observation log, propulsion operating-point table, system-coverage matrix and post-trial findings register.It does not attempt to turn the buyer into a surveyor or marine engineer. Instead, it helps the reader ask better questions, preserve the operating context behind each observation and understand when further investigation or specialist input is required.Written for buyers and owners of used motor yachts-particularly larger or offshore-capable vessels-this is a practical guide to obtaining better evidence before making an expensive decision.…
