Capability is scored for both standards from the same design research, re-weighted. The money is not: a coastal refit has to be costed on its own, which is why it can read “not analysed” above while the score beside it is real.
24 of 24 systems still unexamined, carrying $21k of reserve.
That figure falls as you inspect — it shrinks because you did the diligence, not because you got optimistic. A system with no assessment counts as unexamined and carries its full allowance.
Identified risks (8)
Discrete events, kept out of the cost ranges so they stay visible and can be retired once you have looked.
Deck-core moisture
$4k–$70k
22% likelyexpected $4kinferredReasoning, not a source: The listing describes a cored deck, and the boat will be 36 years old at departure; Practical Sailor says deck delamination does not seem common, so probability is lower than a generic old cored deck, but moisture mapping is still essential.
Broker listing“balsa-cored deck”
Practical Sailor“deck delamination does not seem”
LeisureFurl malfunction
$3k–$28k
20% likelyexpected $2kinferredReasoning, not a source: A 2015 boom furler is not automatically bad, but reefing dependency is high-consequence for two crew; risk collapses with rigger service history and a loaded reefing sea trial.
Broker listing“Leisure Furl boom furler”
Repower expands to mounts/shaft/exhaust/electrical
$8k–$35k
35% likelyexpected $6kinferredReasoning, not a source: If repower is triggered, the engine crate is not the project total; old mounts, exhaust, controls, coupling, shaft alignment and alternator integration can expand scope.
Broker listing“Engine Year | 1992”
Aluminum bilge fuel tank replacement
$5k–$35k
30% likelyexpected $4kinferredReasoning, not a source: Model reviews identify aluminum fuel tanks in the bilge as a known issue. The listing does not state whether this hull's tank has been replaced, inspected or cleaned.
Practical Sailor“aluminum fuel tanks, located in the bilge”
Wave Train“suffers corrosion over time”
Rudder bearing, gudgeon or stock corrosion found on haul
$3k–$30k
18% likelyexpected $2kinferredReasoning, not a source: The model's skeg-hung rudder is protected, but the boat is 34 years old at purchase and no rudder bearing/post/gudgeon service history is listed.
Broker listing“skeg-hung rudder”
Practical Sailor“manganese bronze gudgeon”
Keel-joint, bolt or grounding-history defect
$3k–$90k
12% likelyexpected $2kinferredReasoning, not a source: External lead keel and stainless keel bolts are model facts; listing gives no grounding history or bolt inspection record. Low probability reflects strong construction reviews, but high consequence remains.
Practical Sailor“external lead casting”
Broker listing“modified full lead keel”
Chainplate corrosion or fastener deterioration
$3k–$35k
16% likelyexpected $2kinferredReasoning, not a source: Outboard chainplates are easier to inspect and well-regarded, but the listing does not say the 2015 rig work included chainplates or backing plates.
Practical Sailor“mounted outside the hull”
Broker listing“standing rigging”
Hidden core damage around retrofitted stainless hatches/ports
$2k–$30k
12% likelyexpected $1kinferredReasoning, not a source: Retrofitted openings can be excellent or can hide bedding/core-isolation errors; listing praises the parts but gives no install date, method or hose test.
Broker listing“retrofitted stainless steel hatches”
