Surveyors Round Table Metal Boats
A year ago Jack Allinson and myself were invited to be on Pro Boat Radio to discus our talk for the 2013 IBEX. We will be back this year at IBEX in Tampa, FL. http://www.ibexshow.com/tampa2014.php

The need of keeping water out of the bilge of a metal boat
I always start my surveys on metal boats by using Thermal Imaging of the hull. This helps me locate the structural components of the metal boat. I am also looking for trapped moisture and/or water. If this is found, then there is a good chance there will be corrosion. Next I conduct an inspection of the bilge of the boat, including, anchor, sail, cockpit lockers, and lazarettes. Now I have a very good idea where to concentrate my UTM-audio gauge. I take readings of the whole hull, but will do more readings in the areas of concern.
When I see water in a bilge of a metal boat beyond what might be in a sump I get concerned. I would like to see dry bilges on all metal boats, but this is not always possible. On Tuesday I surveyed a steel trawler. Overall this boat looked to be in fair condition, but then I saw the water in the bilge, a lot of it! There was heavy scale in some areas because of the standing water. I knew this was an area I needed to spend some time getting thickness readings.
The next day I did my audio gauge. My readings indicated plate wastage. In some areas I could not get a reading that most likely is caused by heavy scale. My visual inspection from inside confirmed the heavy scale. When I arrived at the boat I noticed some weeping from what I hoped was paint blisters. Then an hour later water stared streaming from one of the blisters. Just to think only the paint was holding this section of plate together.
The good news! The boat was out of the water it will not sink. Steel boats can fixed; by cropping out the bad plate and adding new. In a short period of time, she will be underway again.
The moral of this story? If you own a metal boat keep an eye on the bilges.
I will post photos in my next post.

Applying Thermal Imaging To Metal Boats
Applying Thermal Imaging To Metal Boats
This was a topic that fellow marine surveyor Jack Allinson and I presented at the 2013 IBEX ( International Boatbuilders Exhibition & Conference). I am new to thermal imaging, but over the past year Jack Allinson has proven its worth when it comes to metal boats. Mr. Allinson has been applying thermal imaging to marine surveying since 2003. Here at DBYS I am working on my Level 1 certification and have acquired a Flir Thermal Imager to add to my tool box for my metal boat inspections. Thermal imaging or also known as Infared Thermography, has been used in factory inspections, home inspections and marine surveying of composite boats for years.When we apply it to metal boats it gives us "better set of eyes" along with visual inspection and audio gauging. We have found that often where thermal anomalies are found there is trapped moisture and/or corrosion, and paint voids. One of the benefits is the ability to see the structure of the boat and location of the tanks. I find this very helpful to speed up my layout for UT/audio gauge inspection
From our presentation:
Infrared thermal imaging and correct interpretations of surface thermal patterns can be a real boon to cost-conscious clients keen on the price point required to find metal wastage, trapped and hidden moisture, and to document the water routes (trails) created when dewatering a vessel. On most UTM jobs, as much as 60% of the work effort goes into planning and implementing where to take the random spot checks for plating thickness. With the right environmental conditions this work can be easily reduced by half by scanning the shell plate with an infrared thermal imager.
In the images below the transverse framing and longitudinal stringers are visible. I will post other photos at a later date that I have been able to locate corrosion.

John Simpson – Boat Designer
Topic - Boat Stability
John Simpson has been involved with boats since childhood and this
evolved into a successful career in naval architecture and boat
design. This path has been the long but thorough route – 4 years of
shipyard & technical training, several years of working with other
naval architectures, 3 years with a boat builder doing purchasing,
estimating, mould tooling, outfitting, engine installation, sea trials and
even some design work.
In 1978 John opened his own design office and over the following
years has done over 100 designs for power, sail, pleasure,
commercial and military vessels in a variety of materials for both
domestic and foreign clients. In 1980 he won the Cruising world
magazine’s Design Award for his 42’ cutter ‘Fidelity’. This was a
forerunner of ‘Perelanda” a 43’ round bilge steel sailboat as featured
in the book Steel Away and owned/built by authors LeCain Smith and
Sheila Moir, 2 of the founders of the Metal Boat Society. John was the
2010 Metal Boat Festival’s Designer of the Year and has been a
stalwart supporter of the MBS for many years.

For the past three years I have been going out to the Metal Boat Fest put on by the Metal Boat Society. I have been a member for many years, a commercial member for the past three years, and in 2012 I had the honer to be voted to the advisory board. In 2012 & 2013 I was asked to present at the fest, the topics covered paint repair and refits. If you are interested in metal boats this is the place to go for friendship and good advice. At the fest you will meet owners, builders, and designers such as Dudley Dix, Ted Brewer, John Simpson, George Buehler and others.

Photos Of Metal Wastage Caused By Trapped Water
Here are some photos of what trapped water and moisture will do to a metal hulled boat. This is not to meant sway anyone from buying or owning a metal boat, I own one myself. It is to give all of us a reminder though, that we need to be diligent in maintaining and inspecting our boats. Speaking of inspecting a metal boat, I had a very good comment on the last post from a former client. He has a process that is very impressive when it comes to inspecting a metal boat for purchase. I encourage anyone who is wanting to buy a metal boat or any boat for that matter to do their own close inspection before putting an offer on a boat and hiring a surveyor. I also would advise the seller of a metal boat to hire a surveyor to inspect the boat before listing it. It is important any issues are known about before the boat goes on the market. Too often a person turns down a boat during my inspections. I would much prefer to be part of a happy exchange of a boat then not.
This is where water had sat for years on the inside of this steel boat, good news she was made as good as new.
So what do we do to make sure we can find these problems?
Refer to the previous post for the answer:

2014 Metal Boat Festival
Come to the Port of Anacortes, Washington, for the 27th annual Metal Boat Festival, August 8 - 10.
Metal Boat Festival
On August 8th - 10th, 2014, the 27th annual Metal Boat Festival will be held on the waterfront in Anacortes, Washington. The festival includes seminars with speakers covering various boat-related topics, which will be held at the Seafarers Memorial Park Building starting at 8:00am Friday morning and concluding mid-afternoon on Sunday. This is an opportunity for people interested in metal boats to see both homebuilt and professionally built boats, power and sail, and talk to the owners. There will also be metal boat designers as well as professional boat builders there for you to meet with. At the end of each speaking session there is a Q&A time. On Sunday there will be a Designers and Builders Forum where attendees can ask a panel of designers and builders any boat-related questions.
The Metal Boat Festival is open to everyone, Metal Boat Society members and non-members alike. For more information on seminar subjects and evening program speakers or to register go to www.metalboatsociety.org
