2001 Tayana Vancouver 42 "KI", Long Beach, California

Which rigger did the post-2022 standing rigging, and did they inspect, remove or replace the chainplates and their belowdecks attachment bolts at the same time — is there an invoice or any photography?

Cruising World names chainplate and attachment-bolt corrosion as a Vancouver 42 issue; a rigger who already had the plates out retires the largest structural rig question.

Will the seller permit full deck moisture mapping around side decks, coachroof, foredeck, cockpit sole, chainplates, hardtop feet, stanchion bases and solar mounts on a dry morning?

The molded non-skid deck is good news, but the cored deck plus 2022 hardtop/solar penetrations still create a $30,000 wet-core question.

What service has the Yanmar 4JH3-TE had since 2021 — specifically turbocharger, heat exchanger, exhaust mixing elbow, injectors, coolant circuit, raw-water pump and valve-clearance service?

The engine is turbocharged, year 2000 and mostly absent from the refit block; cooling/exhaust/turbo history drives a five-figure risk.

Can you provide the complete invoice package for the 2021-22 refit — rigging, sails, lithium, inverter, alternator, solar, hardtop, watermaker, electronics and autopilot?

One document set decides whether this is a professional world-cruiser refit or a pile of good parts installed by an unknown hand.

Why is there a 54gal aluminum tank beside a 40gal steel tank; when was the aluminum tank installed, by whom, why was the original removed, and how is it supported and isolated?

The itemised tanks total 94gal against the model's 120gal; the reason for that capacity/material change drives tank-replacement risk and motoring range.

How long has KI been on the market, has the price moved, and have any prior offers fallen through after survey?

A prior failed survey would be the fastest path to the real defect list; a long listing at this price may signal undisclosed survey findings.

Is there a prior survey, bottom-job invoice, barrier-coat record, haulout photo set or any disclosed grounding history?

A clean recent survey and bottom history retires much of the hull, keel, rudder and through-hull reserve at once.

Was the mast unstepped for the 2022 rigging and mast-wiring work, and are there photos of the mast heel, deck step, compression post and diamond-stay/cowcatcher fittings?

Deck-stepped mast load on a cored deck is the one spar/deck intersection that can become structural and expensive.

What BMS is fitted, is there a Class-T fuse at the LiFePO4 bank, what regulator controls the 160A alternator, and what protects the alternator from a BMS disconnect?

These four details determine whether the 2022 lithium/alternator system is robust or a fire/alternator-failure risk.

Can the survey haulout include rudder bearing play measurement, heel fitting inspection, full-travel swing, moisture readings around the blade/stock and a check for grounding scars?

The skeg-hung rudder is a strength only if the bearings, heel and blade are sound.

Are the water tanks 120gal total or 150gal total, have either leaked or been pressure-tested, and how are they accessed?

Tankage affects range and cruising comfort; access through finished joinery can turn a simple leak into a five-figure job.

How old are the aluminum hatches and stainless opening ports, and can each Lexan lens be photographed close-up from inside and outside?

Photos can distinguish gasket service from full hatch/reglazing replacement before survey money is spent.

What autopilot drive unit is fitted to the B&G NAC-3 — make, model, linear/hydraulic/wheel type, ram size, foundation and attachment point — and can it be photographed?

The NAC-3 is the brain; a 29,000lb cutter needs a correctly sized below-decks drive for Pacific self-steering.

How many through-hulls are aboard, what material are the seacocks, are any gate valves or hardware-store valves present, and can every below-water valve be exercised at survey?

Sound bronze/Marelon can stay; seized or wrong-material valves become a haulout replacement project.

How old is the Grunert refrigeration, what refrigerant does it use, what are the compressor and evaporator model numbers, and what temperatures do both boxes hold at anchor?

Refrigeration is not dated in the refit; a data plate photo separates a service item from a replacement.

Is a dinghy and outboard included, and what load is the outboard crane rated to lift?

A serviceable tropical tender would zero catalogue gear; an undersized crane is not useful for the planned RIB/outboard.

Is there a liferaft aboard, and if so what make, model, capacity, manufacture date and last service date are on the sticker?

No liferaft appears in the listing; a serviceable offshore raft changes the generic-gear offset, while an expired one should be valued at zero.

Is KI aft-cockpit or center-cockpit in actual layout, and where are the two usable sea berths with lee-cloth attachment points?

The listing text mixes trunk-cabin, center-cockpit and aft-cockpit language; sea-berth geometry matters more than berth count offshore.

How old is the 300ft of 5/16in G4 chain, has it been regalvanised, what make/model/age is the windlass, and is there a secondary anchor and rode?

The primary system is nearly ideal if in good condition; if chain or windlass is tired, the catalogue zero is misleading.

Is the SeaWater Pro 40gph watermaker the DC modular unit or the 110/220V 970W AC unit, and when were the membranes last replaced or pickled?

The AC version makes the inverter a single point of failure for water; membrane history decides whether the watermaker is a real asset.

What make and model is the AIS transceiver, and is it Class B 2W CSTDMA or Class B+ / 5W SOTDMA?

The catalogue AIS line is not zeroed until the unit is known to meet the Class B+ target.

Can the teak emergency tiller be fitted during sea trial and swung through full travel with the destroyer wheel and cockpit gear in place?

An emergency tiller that cannot be installed or used under way is not emergency steering.

What Starlink hardware is fitted, how is it mounted and powered, and does the plan include ocean/mobile-priority coverage?

The catalogue Starlink Mini line is not zeroed because 'Starlink internet' could be older, power-hungry or plan-limited marina gear.

Where exactly are propane bottles, regulator, solenoid and gas alarm located, and what are the hose/tubing dates?

The listing confirms a vented locker and remote shutoff, but the remaining LPG details decide whether the propane line is retired or becomes survey work.

The lifelines are described as vinyl-covered; will the seller treat replacement with uncoated 1x19 stainless as an offshore defect despite the 2022 replacement date?

The line looks new in the listing but is the wrong offshore material, so it is a negotiation item.

Does the 2022 Precision mainsail have a third reef and offshore chafe reinforcement, and are the original sails included and usable as spares?

A third reef and spare sail inventory materially improve the offshore sail plan without buying new primary sails.

Where will KI be principally moored immediately after purchase — Long Beach during refit, or the Bay Area after delivery?

The use-tax rate and the delivery/refit sequence depend on where the boat is principally located after purchase.
