- Warp: It can be expected that this warp will be discolored and or have an aged look. This will be deemed to be normal wear and tear. Severe areas of chafe or if one of the three strands is broken, will be reason for replacement.
SAFETY GEAR
- All safety gear in accordance with the yacht equipment specification will be onboard, in its entirety, and as issued to the yacht at the time of the original sale.
- All equipment that has an expiry date will be within three (3) months of that date at the time of handover.
- All equipment will be in good, clean, dry condition and correctly stowed.

These are considered normal and an unavoidable occurrence.
- The keel and keel to hull joint will be inspected at the last haul-out prior to phase out date.
- With iron keels, rust, and rust streaks at the joint are a normal occurrence.
ANTIFOULING

- It must be noted that wood with a varnish finish ages and changes color over a period of time. Sunlight will affect this discoloration to varying degrees. This is considered normal wear and tear.
- Wood discoloration is not uncommon and can show a black tinge. This does not necessarily reflect a structural problem and is deemed fair wear and tear. Any damage that affects the functional structure will be replaced or repaired.
- As a result of charter service, there will be some chips and dents in wood surfaces. These should be considered fair wear and tear: these will be cosmetically repaired as well as practically possible.

- Any chafe, or damaged stitching will be repaired.
- Genoa UV covers will be in sound condition with no chafe.
